Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud announced earlier this week that effective immedietly there will be a $20.00 bounty on all coyotes killed in that Province and that the bounty program will run until the end of March 2010. Forms for payment can be picked up at all Rural Municipality offices beginning next week. Hopefully the 20.00 combined with the 5-10.00 the trapper gets for the pelt, will motivate the hunters and trappers to begin thinning these predators out. Farmers have suffered serious losses due to livestock falling victim to these predators. Hopefully a large number of these Predators will meet their demise before calving and lambing season begins. Manitoba and Alberta should be announcing a similar program within the next couple of weeks.
