Leaving cyanide bombs is lazy, dangerous and irresponsible. A simpler and safer solution that has been used in the past is to offer {n} dollars per coyote corpse. They are already unprotected and may be hunted without a tag. [1] License still required [2] With exception to protected federal wilderness areas [3] one could even use a drone with a FLIR camera to mark all the locations ahead of time as they are much cheaper and can fly much further now. saves a lot of walking up hills and reduces multiple risks including friendly fire
In this case I and many others would fully support implementing perverse incentives if it meant eradicating a species that is not compatible with human civilization. That said I am open to other ideas. If they are practical I will suggest them to the game departments.
