Hunters who harvest a tagged coyote can earn free lifetime license

March 7, 2023

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) released 16 more tagged coyotes statewide recently as part of the Coyote Harvest Incentive Program. This program was created in 2016 by the General Assembly, which directed SCDNR to develop and implement a coyote tagging and reward program

Annually, SCDNR traps, tags and releases four coyotes per game zone (16 total). Anyone who successfully takes and reports a tagged coyote will be rewarded with a free lifetime hunting license. The person reporting the tagged coyote has the option to designate anyone for the lifetime license such as a child, relative or friend.

smart.
Now do it with deer to cut down on CWD

That's nothing, bag a fishcop and you get a lifetime of free room and board!

So, if one of 'em wanders north over an imaginary line & gits popped, does the hunter get a lifetime non-res SC or lifetime NC?

I wish the game commission was busy doing things that really mattered.

So they caught the coyotes… and let them back out for you to have to deal with, instead of taking care of the problem when they had control.

That would only take care of sixteen yotes.
I wonder how many yotes will be exterminated by folks looking for those exact ones? Couple hundred? More?

I shoot every one I see.

The problem is I've only seen one.

I shot it.

I have killed 2 in the previous 6 years. All of them in the back messing with my neighbors chickens

They’ve had this program for as long as I can remember. Nice added incentive to take a shot at every yote you see. Even if you think the shot will mess up your hunt ( It won’t )

A perfect score. Admirable.

For some reason, I typed that in Mr. Spock's voice.

How is this program an incentive? Anyone who plans on hunting for a lifetime is so into the sport that they have no problem paying for their license.

From the OP.

The person reporting the tagged coyote has the option to designate anyone for the lifetime license such as a child, relative or friend.

Shoes and flag, or no?

Here's the rub; they have not actually tagged any and no one will ever know. Lol
