A person claiming bounty on a predatory animal under this part shall present the green skin or pelt of the animal, with all four feet attached, to one of the bounty inspectors provided for in 81-7-112 or 81-7-201 and shall make an affidavit that the animal was killed within the county where the bounty is claimed. The affidavit must be corroborated by at least two reputable stockowners of the county to the effect that they know or have good cause to believe that the animal was killed within that county.
