Remember it's about the Money! Someone will figure a way around it.
My Grandfather was a Town Clerk in Montgomery in the 1950's an in his Diary he writes that Bobbie Chaffee had discovered a "new species of Porcupine that had three pairs of ears when presenting them to collect the fifty cents a pair bounty.
And this entry from the Burlington Free Press:
Upon presenting two porcupine ears to a Vermont town clerk, the hunter would receive the fifty cents bounty. An Associated Press report from March 2, 1957 suggests that some hunters had found a way to produce more than two ears from a dead porcupine.
The Fish and Game Department discovered that some hunters had become so adept, they could fashion sixteen pairs of ears from a single pelt, representing four dollars.
While the entire head of the offending animal was eventually required to receive the fifty cent bounty, a more effective means of porcupine control was finally implemented.
