Bounty

Coconut chocolate bar

Bounty is generosity or abundance—nature's bounty, a bountiful harvest.

The word also names a reward offered for capturing someone or something: a bounty on the outlaw's head, a bounty for killing wolves.

A bounty hunter pursues fugitives for such rewards.

In some contexts, bounty means a payment or premium offered as an incentive: enlistment bounties during wartime.
