Trappers See Coyotes Prove Lucrative This Winter
With winter starting, ranchmen and trappers report strong coyote hunting as they bring in nearly a hundred hides to the county treasurer for bounty. Notable collection by Henry Stager of Ham Fork last Friday led to bounty arrangements, with several others from Opal Kemmerer and nearby towns contributing hides. The coyote hide demand rises from Russian army use in clothing, pushing high prices and enabling a capable trapper to earn from four to seven dollars per animal plus hide value.
