I remember $9 for nutria that were 28" and over. Could sell all we could catch. I wasn't trapping coyotes in those days but hunted some and was getting $45 up to $85 around that time. Nutria was my bread and butter. Was averaging around $12 in '79. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

They did away with the bounty system in the later 60's
