An economic incentive to hunt a particular species does not result in a decrease in population. What you have instead is an economic incentive to breed large populations in uncontrolled conditions, likely on public land, which then get abandoned and/or released when you realize the economic incentive has made your invasive species problem far, far worse.
This has happened many times throughout history.
Yes, for instance a bounty on rats leads to pet rats and tailless rats.
