Pennsylvania G.C. to offer an incentive on coyotes - 12/02/13 09:15 PM
too little too late IMO
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -
The House Game and Fisheries Committee has approved legislation to create a coyote control incentive program for hunters and furtakers.
House Bill 1534 authorizes the Pennsylvania Game Commission to offer an incentive of $25 to properly licensed hunters and furtakers for each coyote lawfully harvested.
Rep. Mike Peifer's (R-Monroe/Pike/Wayne) said his proposal would bring the coyote population under control, address public safety concerns over the animals, and could help boost the deer population.
The bill was reported out of committee by a vote of 21-3 and now goes to the full House for consideration.
