March 9, 1923 No More Bounty on Wild Animals Montana is paying no more bounty on coyotes, wolves or other predatory animals killed in the future, according to word received by Sheriff Hi Farnum, advising him not to accept any more pelts, the state having abandoned the system which has been in use for a number of years, and which encouraged farmers, ranchers and hunters to help rid the country of predatory wild animals that each year destroyed a great amount of livestock, says the Miles City Daily Star.
