I will highly disagree, there is almost NO stronger motivator than money to get folks to do anything
and this excuse you give is what SOME game depts always say, as a way to not have to do any more work, or give out any funds
you use coyotes as am example

I call BS< there(not on them breeding more), but on numbers getting higher, since the bounties have been gone, more and more folks NOW see them than EVER!


you say Bounties DON"T work
look back at history better, buffalo
s?? almost extinct, due to bounties on them
as with many other species

current PROOF< is look at FL, and Python's, an invasive species going wild down there and bounties and price tags on them have got a LOT of folks hunting them that would NOT be if not!
face it, money motivates folks

I am NOT saying its a perfect system and will get TONS of folks out helping, but it WILL motivate many.

and if the point of things is TRYING to get rid of invasive species, a reward is ONE way of getting things going in the right direction
as again,
$$ motivates

depts need to find new ways to MAKE money if need be
as I said, turn then fish into fertilizer, or sell in some other way
YES ,more work for the game dept workers, BOO HOO!
sorry, life isn;t always fun and easy!

but having invasive species taking over water ways and ruining other wildlife in them, is NOT very good job of the game and fish dept people that are supposed to be keeping this stuff in Check
NO??
it IS THERE JOB< to enforce and protect wildlife and fish, NO?

SO< more work, more money?
if that is what is needed, it needs to be done!
doing Nothing sure ain't going to help anything here!
MY solution isn't perfect by any means, its JUST ONE option that can MAYBE help get rid of MORE than what's going on now!

IF the GAME Dept foesn't think many will do so, they shouldn;t worry about the costs!
