Not sure if anyone is in/around St George or the Zion National park area of Utah but was heading that way and heard that there is a standing 55$ bounty per coyote with no type of required license.
I know the reason for this is due to protecting the mule deer population but how common are they? I looked at the Utah map of coyote hunting areas and its practically 80% of the state, so that doesn't really help. How common are they near smaller populated areas like St George, or do you need to be in the middle of nowhere to get any good density of them?
Are there any other types of critters that don't require a license? Wasn't sure what constituted 'fur-bearers' in Utah as I couldn't find a specific list of what applies; was hoping there would be prairie dogs near St George but never got a definitive answer of where they are from anyone local, or if they exist around there.
