Put Down the Traps and Guns—Coyotes Will Outsmart Them Every Time
A growing number of coyotes are pressuring cities to act aggressively, but hunting them can actually encourage larger populations.
Another week, another 'coyote derby' in California.
According to Project Coyote, a wildlife conservation non-profit, 11 coyotes were shot and killed in a "hunting contest" among Bakersfield, California, residents this past Sunday. Another competition is supposedly planned in the same area this weekend, where participating hunters will reportedly receive up to $300 for killing the most coyotes.
