Eastern coyote
WHITNEY POINT, N.Y. — Reacting to news of a coyote hunting tournament in the Catskills being cancelled this week due to criticisms from animal rights advocates, a small sportsmen’s group in Broome County announced it is picking up the slack and sponsoring its own coyote hunt on the same dates.
The Whitney Point Coon Hunters Club in Broome County announced it will be holding a coyote hunting tournament on Jan. 18-19, the same dates that the Hancock Fire Department in Delaware County had scheduled theirs before announcing this week it was being cancelled.
“And we won’t be shut down,” said Brian Brown, of Greene, a spokesman for the Coon Hunter’s group. “All the antis are dancing around, throwing a party, thinking they won.”
Brown said registration for his group’s hunt will be $25 per hunter, due no later than Jan. 17.

Oh yes they will.
This should be required reading for these men and women. If Arizona can ban them, surely the most blue state in the union can too. Why they haven’t is a mystery, but one I am sure can be remedied:

The comments are fantastic too.
I’m glad that the fire department is no longer going forward with theirs – send them to Australia where they can do something useful.
The thing is that they can already hunt coyotes year-round with no bag limits in a lot of states? Why do they need an additional contest?
Here’s more on the fire department
