More than 100 hunters fanned out across New Mexico Saturday, though it is unclear how many coyotes were killed in the hunt.
Practically everyone in New Mexico had something to say about this weekend?s coyote-killing contest, from animal activists to rangers who want to protect their livestock.
KOAT Action 7 News spotted the bodies of two coyotes killed Saturday morning in Torrance County. Their snouts were wrapped in tape and someone wrote ?6:45? on the body. Within the coyote?s mouth was a shell casing.
Animal Protection of New Mexico Executive Director Lisa Jennings said her group is working to try and get a law passed against such an event.
There is currently no law against holding such a hunting event. The only restrictions are that hunters can not shoot the coyotes on state or federal land.
Several hunters and ranchers said the hunts are the only way to keep some livestock alive.
At least three other similar events are being planned in New Mexico.
