Mehlhaff says Nelson’s proposed change to state law would have permitted a county to increase the limit to 100-dollars. Commissioner Bill Abernathy says he’s discussed this previously with the Commission…
Commissioner Tom Rounds agreed, saying the County can’t take on additional fees…
Mehlhaff says he may bring a bill in the upcoming legislative session that would make it easier for landowners to host coyote hunters on their property.
