We do $10 a tail here they tried the $5 a tail thing one year but it had less interest then so they went back to $10 a tail. Not just coon but fox, badger, possum, skunks are all included. Coyotes the State works on them here so they are not in that mix. The kids get a month head start then adults can turn in tails. Last edited by Law Dog; 02/25/24 09:46 AM.

I know Growenwold has said the tails mean nothing to them. Probably a few craft buyers that want the tails on for tanning and such. Not sure if this whole thing will be worth the hassle.

Once again, the legislative assault on a state department that isn't funded with tax dollars is ridiculous. If they want coons killed and bounties paid, how about the corn growers assoc. , ethanol industry and the Farm Bureau pony up the cash for the bounty? I'm tired of the legislature finding ways to "defund" the dnr. (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), they introduced a bill to study pelican predation that requires a 1 yr study to determine how much fish the pelicans eat, at a cost of 125k. Again, coming from the fish and game trust fund.

Where does the game wardens salary come from? Fish and Game trust fund. Another 35 salaries coming out of license sales and insurance. It's not sustainable on the fund.
