First off you have to be connected to the right people. If are a member of Dixie wildlife or a family member is that is a plus. Next,the coyote must be killed in an approved area. On the Dixie natl forest is best. I thought the money actually comes from the county commision (your tax money if you live there)but it is doled out on a selected basis. If you are from a family that ranches on the ariz. strip don't even try it. The commisar who is in charge claims through his voodoo he can tell where the dogs come from.
