Hughes County Hears Of Possible Bill To Allow Counties To Support Coyote Bounty For Youth

PIERRE. (KCCR) — The Hughes County Commission said thanks, but no thanks Monday night to an idea to support youth hunting and the reduction of coyote populations in the county. District 24 Senator Jim Mehlhaff approached the Commission on behalf of local conservationist Steve Nelson…

Mehlhaff says Nelson’s proposed change to state law would have permitted a county to increase the limit to 100-dollars. Commissioner Bill Abernathy says he’s discussed this previously with the Commission…

Commissioner Tom Rounds agreed, saying the County can’t take on additional fees…

Mehlhaff says he may bring a bill in the upcoming legislative session that would make it easier for landowners to host coyote hunters on their property.
