Oh yeah, I dunno that Hamilton's scalp bouty triggered much killing over what was occurring already. The most viable scalp bounty system I know of within the US was in the Southwest aimed at Apaches, with James Kirker and crew collecting Indian-looking hair from all sources, least of all from the Apaches who were hard to catch and who shot back.
Point of interest, Kirker was an equally opportunity employer, and Whites, Indians and Mexicans all earned wages in his grisly crew. Takes a certain sort of human I guess....
