I've been doing some research and following the news some on the coyote tournaments that have gone on in Vermont. The Howlin' Hills Coyote Event is scheduled for March 1, but one Representative is trying to get a bill through the Legislature that would prohibit coyote tournaments.
I blogged about it today at the Black Bear Blog http://mainehuntingtoday.com/bbb/?p=263
I've never been to any of the tournaments so I can't tell anyone anything about them except what I read and hear. I do remember last year there was a lot of press over the tournaments and not much of it was any good.
If you get all sides to the story, it sounds like what you normally hear when it comes to hunting issues - the antis line up on one side, the hunters on the other, although the guy in Vermont authoring the bill says he is a hunter.
Was wondering if anyone had ever been to one of these tournaments and if so, could they shed some unbiased views on what took place?
Unbiased meaning they have no affiliation with those who sponsor or host a yote tournament.
