The Fayette County Spring Coyote Control Program begins on Tuesday, Jan. 6 and ends Thursday, April 30. The contest is being held to enable landowners, producers, and sportsmen to contribute to the control of coyotes in Fayette County. Coyotes cause predation on livestock, resulting in economic losses to agricultural producers in the county. There are three categories in which one can win prize money: (1) the most coyotes, (2) the heaviest coyotes, and (3) the heaviest female. In the most coyotes and heaviest coyote categories, first through fifth will be awarded: $100, $75, $50, $25, $25. In the heaviest female category, prize money will be paid to the top three, and awarded $50, $30, and $20. The contest will conclude at noon on April 30.
Rules for the contest are as follows:
1. All coyotes entered in the contest must be taken in Fayette County.
