Utah Coyote Bounty

I recently wrote an article on the coyote bounty program here in Utah. The state recently introduced a new predator control program to try and increase mule deer populations through the Mule Deer Protection Act. Through the act, hunters and trappers can get $50 for every coyote scalp that they turn in. You can read the article and view more photos here. A few of the images I shot for the story are below.
