\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA Milwaukee man is offering a reward to help keep coyotes from his property.”Pretty much every morning, they’re there,” Nic Clark. “And these are big, 90-pounders.”Clark lives near 40th and Mill. He said he’s noticed coyotes in the area for years, but the size of the two spotted recently has heightened concerns. He posted a sign on the side of the road earlier this month that reads, “$500 Bounty 2 Coyotes.””There is a coyote problem. There’s a lot of them and they howl and they get into mischief and kill animals,” Clark said. “There’s two 90-pounders running around, light silver.””What inspired you to put a bounty on them?” WISN 12 News Kendall Keys asked.”Because I don’t want my cat hurt,” Clark said. Clark said his cat, Paddy, wouldn’t stand a chance, faced with the coyotes spotted nearby.”This is all for Paddy,” Clark said. It is illegal to hunt wildlife in the city of Milwaukee. Police directed WISN 12 News to the Department of Natural Resources regarding the legality of such a bounty. According to Wisconsin Hunting Regulations, there is a “continuous open season” for coyotes, though it is illegal to bait coyotes for the purpose of hunting.”I’m not here to tell anybody how to do it. It’s just you bring them, hey, here’s the money. And I don’t have to worry about them,” Clark said.”$500. Is that for one?” Keys asked.”For both. It says on the sign: Two coyotes,” Clark said. According to Milwaukee city ordinances, it is illegal to fire a gun within city limits. Hunting with a bow and arrow or a crossbow within 100 yards of someone’s home is also illegal. “If you’re going to release them, release it 100 miles away, please. I don’t want them coming back,” Clark said.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
