The incentive is a dead feral hog. The $2 is just sprinkles on the sundae. Four dead hogs is a six pack.

It’s not about making it into a profitable business. The point is that the county took the time and effort to set up a program that allegedly incentivizes a particular behavior – in this case, hog killing – but in typical government fashion, they made the incentive so small that it’s practically worthless.

Since when was this supposed to be some kind of business that gives you a profit? Go get yourself a beard and a TV show.

Don’t forget the cost of a bullet too, Dano.

Given the dangerous nature of these animals, and the price of gas to drive to town and turn in the tails, $2 per animal is a pittance.

I seem to remember getting $20 for a coyote ear way back when in Brown County, and even a Raccoon ear brought $5.
