bounties
Prices on heads
Bounties is the plural of bounty, which has two main threads: generous gifts and rewards for capture.
A region's natural bounties are its abundant resources.
A bounty on someone's head is money offered for catching them—originally criminals or enemies, now extended to bugs in software or invasive species: The state pays bounties on wild boar.
Bounty hunters pursue fugitives for the reward.
