It’s all paid for by taxpayers, instead of private enterprise (fur trappers), but in Washington anyway it is undocumented and kept quiet. Look at the cougar black ops killing cougars instead of getting rid of insane bs quotas, and letting tag buying hunters control cougar numbers. The number I heard being paid for killing a nuisance cougar to one of these black ops hound hunters is $4500. Collect your pay and throw the cougar in the dump. No body cares.
G Brady told me one time Washington is going the way of Europe. In Holland they trap nuisance muskrats that are tunneling in the banks of the dikes, pile them up and burn them. Fur trappers used to manage the muskrat numbers there.
Instead of using and managing a renewable resource, kill it, oft times when the animal has kits in the den, throw them in the dump, and keep quiet, so your check keeps coming in.
