    This was in our local paper trying to stop the coyote contest being held this weekend. Whole lot of dumb going on in this ad.

    Which is fine and dandy, but their reasons? Coyotes don't impact bird populations? Killing coyotes will increase their population?

    They have flawed logic. Is it a bird if the egg has not hatched?

    Killing coyotes increases their population ?,well then if they love coyotes they should telling us to kill more of them.

    There is a whole lot of bull crap being said in that article,the sad thing is some people actually believe that.Just wait till the coyotes get so over populated and start eating their pets,I bet they will change their minds real quick when some coyote snacks on their cat or dog.

    No I would agree and say it is wrong approach to coyotes in that manner, traps are much more effective.

    This was just a screenshot on Facebook. I haven't looked at the real paper yet.

    It's the Marshall paper. Pheasant hunting is HUGE out there and brings in a lot of revenue for the area.

    Seems to happen everywhere there are contests. Had a huge stink around here the last couple of years during the winter coyote hunting contests.
