This contest is intended to encourage the harvest of coyotes and to foster more sportsman to hunt and harvest this predator that is "over populated" and destroying, Maine and other States game populations at an increasingly high rate. Snaring coyotes in Maine has been eliminated by Anti hunting groups and now we hunters & trappers have to thin them out one at a time or all game species are in danger. Coyotes are in such large numbers in all areas of the State of Maine, that healthy deer are being run down and killed, wise old turkeys sit in trees all day for fear of landing to be attacked by coyotes, in the deep snow Turkeys land in the morning and are attacked and helpless, domestic cats and dogs are being eaten and killed as food for coyotes, rabbits, grouse and all small game are targets of these predators. The list of their destruction can go on and on! The facts are in.. coyotes are predators, they are over populating since snaring was outlawed in Maine, the problem is here and sportsman have an opportunity to manage this problem, their is NO-Closed Season on coyotes here in Maine and in most USA States! Hunting opportunities are year around!
So check your local State laws and give it a try, coyote hunting is by far one of the most challenging hunting sports in the world!
