Year round coyote season poll, please go to vote

I thought I might pass on what I was told by the DNR Furbearer biologist as the reason that the season was put on coyotes way back when. I am sorry but the name of the biologist escapes me. He ended up transferring to Gladstone a few years later.

He told me that it was put on because of hound hunters saying they were hunting coyotes when they were actually running bear and killing them for the gall bladders.

Sounded like a lame excuse but that is what he said. It must be that the bear killers have quit are thinking of opening it back up to all year.

At the same time a CO friend told me that he got a questionnaire asking for his thoughts on banning the sale of all animal glands. When confronted with this at a SMTA meeting the biologist denied it. I told him I put more faith in my CO friend than what he had to say.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
