another tool yes but only for a specific area and specific pest it would need to be very carefully managed so that only the target animal from a specific area was paid for and it would need to be small area -then and only then does it have any merit - what might work is to give a group a koha for work in an area - that way the group can police their own - blanket bountys well go tip tax payers money in the ocean because it would achieve nothing - poison on goats I believe the FS did trials years ago and it was not very successful - deer specifically targeted with 1080 of course against DOC internal policy and lets hope it stays that way - if deer are to be controlled I believe it should be shooting only
