The bounty in Ontario ended in 1973. A few counties have an incentive or compensation but it has been found to be ineffective. A Utah study found:
“Although several state and provincial case histories, including Utah, are available (Bennitt1948, Latham 1951, Michigan Department of Conservation 1960, Nielsen 1973, Theberge 1973), there is no documented evidence indicating that bounty programs temporarily or permanently reduce coyote abundance or subsequently reduce livestock depredation.” Any shot coyote is no good for fur. And traps are not set to reduce the population but to provide pelts for fur. So I again ask, what's this got to do with the fur industry? Answer, nothing. This is a red herring.
