The presence of contests which glory in maximal killing and give money to those who kill the most coyotes doesn't help. It is a very stupid strategy and one that is GUARANTEED to incense nonhunters.
People who hunt coyotes should do so in the same respectful manner in which they hunt deer. This "round em up and kill em all" attitude is an absolute sure-fire way to run head-on into this kind of emotional battle.

The ban on coyote hunting is a bad idea.

The article isn't about banning coyote hunting, it is about banning the hunting contests.
Small bites here and there are easier to get away with. Just like pitting user groups against each other.
Get this part taken away this time, then go after something else, maybe ban night hunting?
Maybe then electronic callers?
Then maybe any artificial sounds and lures?
But never address an outright ban on hunting them, too risky and low percentage of getting accepted, especially in heavy livestock economy driven areas.
Just chip away at it and use terms like "fair-chase" and "unsportsmanlike," remember those words about hounds and baiting here???
This is how they operate and they are patient, organized and do not turn on each other as hunters have been seen to do time and time again.

Just another example of how they are in it for the long run.:yeah:

those are the buzzwords that will be used to divide hunters the same way "puppymill" was invented to divide dog fanciers, and "humane farming" has divided farmers and the list goes on just wait you will see or you wont because you will buy in to the words. I am using the word YOU in a global sense not a specific person sense. :)
language is the real weapon used to conquer nations.

Commercials on the wet side depicting some dead or dying yotes and it will be all over with, if not today, then tomorrow.
Hang on to your hat, we ain't seen nothin yet.
Ya wanna stop it, fight fire with fire. Make some commercials with Fifi or Fido being ripped to shreds by a pack of yotes or a calf being pulled from it's mother by a yote.

Don't matter if it's just about contests, they will do what they did with hunting cats and bears and trapping

You are right.
Things happen fast these days and we could lose what we cherish in a heartbeat.

it sucks that the commission voted to do this. It won't stop them they just won't give out prizes or give prizes out at a later date under the table. Kinda like how we gotta sell guns here now

I have never heard of anybody making coyote jerky before. Anyone on here do that or tried some?When I was stationed in Lemoore California every coyote I shot was donated to a local Filipino that ate them.
