California wildlife board bans coyote hunting derbies that offer prizes to top marksman
FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2013, file photo, A coyote stands in a field in this undated file photo. Hunters are tromping through the countryside of a remote Northern California county, as they compete in a controversial contest to see who can kill the most coyotes. Organized coyote hunts that award prizes to the top marksman have sparked a culture clash in California between wildlife advocates who value the animals as an essential part of the landscape and people who view coyotes as wily varmints to be hunted down to protect livestock. On Wednesday, Dec, 3, 2014, the California Fish and Game Commission will consider banning prize hunts for coyotes as well as foxes and bobcats, which also are legal to kill year-round in unlimited numbers.
