The draft of 1863 allowed individuals to pay a bounty to someone else to fight in their place rather than be drafted.

Universities should be paid a bounty of 1,000 per head to recruit poor students with lower grades, a report says.

Though the activists failed to stop aerial hunting, a state judge forced the state to stop paying the bounty.

The draft enabled people chosen to buy their way out of the draft for $300 or find a substitute, usually paying a bounty of $100.

Bounties were given by local government entities, and upon presenting evidence of offending dead birds, game officers paid the bounties.
