Four Men Arrested in Kansas Coyote Bounty Scam
Four men are jailed in Hill City on charges of defrauding 85 Kansas counties of at least $50,000 by selling coyote scalps as Kansas kills. Headquartered in Kansas City, they bought scalps from fur dealers, shipped them with mothballs, and billed counties for $1 per scalp. The scheme spanned about 14 years and involved shipments to Colby and Hays. Kansas and Nebraska offer the largest bounties among midwestern states for coyote scalps.
