I $3000 coyote in South Carolina.

Cool you got 3k. But every coyote you see shoot eat a bullet. Your only helping yourself and others

 

[bullmtn]

Pretty sure that means you have a 3k 6k budget for a new coyote gun!

Fixed it for you

Really cool. I remember when they did the lifetime license bounty, but cash is even better.

I was turkey hunting early April when I saw a coyote chasing deer and made a little squeaky sound with my mouth to draw him in. Much to my surprise it worked. I don’t shoot coyotes deer hunting simply because I am deer hunting but since I saw this one chasing deer and the turkey hunting was very slow, I decided I would shoot him.

When I walked up to the coyote, I noticed he had tags in each year from SC DNR. Turns out since 2023 they have a $3000 bounty on coyotes with certain ear tags. I took him to a biologist nearby to verify the tags and about four weeks later South Carolina sent me $3000.

That kind of made up for the lousy turkey season. Not sure which states offer this, but South Carolina traps and releases about 16 a year throughout the state and offers the $3000 bounty.

So from now on out, I’ll be checking Mr. coyote to see if he has any jewelry in his ear.

I trapped probably 50 yotes over the last 2 seasons and shot probaby another dozen still no ear tag. It used to be a free lifetime license then they uppped the ante to 3k after covid.Congrats!

Did the biologist say how many tags have been turned in since '23...It was single digits last time I checked.

South Carolina coyote hunters, upon learning of the $3,000 bounty on certain coyotes, be like:

Yep less than half have been turned in for the 3k check....@philos did you make the tag turn hit double digits?

If your paying the NR tag fee guess that get you a couple more years of tags..I dont know why NR folks pay that for turkeys...smh

I thought this was going to be a story where you accidentally shot a $3000 piece of equipment in the background or someone’s dog haha. Congrats.

My uncle had a story about shooting at a running coyote off the hood of a vehicle on his farm. He swung with the coyote and blew a hole in his new truck side mirror because of his stupidity paired with the scope above bore height.

Why not just cut their throat and save 3000 dollars?

Along with states that have a set coyote season, this makes zero sense.
