Those depredation hunts are a regular job for USDA-APHIS-WS in sheep country.
When I worked for them years ago Their (USDA-WS) goal in sheep country areas for those helicopter hunters was 50 to 60 coyotes per day (5 days a week).
Nope I never got a chance to be one of those hunters.

A lot of fur goes to waste.
