| Coyote legs? We used to turn in the ears for a bounty. A homemade hydra-bed...that's cool.

Nice cows and a nice deck. How much time and $ did it take to build?
It looks pretty sturdy. Do the arms fold right flush into the deck?
Actually other than the good fences, your cows remind me a lot of ours...

This winter we have a bounty on coyotes. We have to turn in the feet.
When the fur market was functioning properly the government collected royalties on over 30,000 coyotes a winter. Due to the fall in fur prices no one was hunting coyotes so they put a bounty on them to try and get the population under control.
Will it work I don't know but it is breaking up some packs. We had a pack of 16 just on the west side of the ranch.

So does four feet in your bushel basket equal one coyote, or does the government trust you and only require one foot per coyote? Seems like a person could quadruple his bounty earnings in the latter scenario.

The coyote feet have to be divided by four for the pay out! I did get one with one three paws, they said that was OK but i don't think they would go for 25 3 legged coyotes. The deck was built from scratch with some pictures from a hydra dec. I have about $2500 invested with $1000 being all new hydraulic components. The pump is a belt driven unit and the valve is selenoid operated. The arms do fold down to the outside of the deck but the spinners have to be removed.
