Coyotes are the principal predator for sage grouse. The feds want to blame human hunters and put lots of land off limits to humans as an excuse.

The problem is not hunting, it is habitat loss and fragmentation.

Hunting groups like Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever support habitat preservation and improvement for the sage grouse.

Grazing eliminates the ground cover these birds need to hide from the coyote and hawk.

Upland game birds are in decline all over the US.

The question is who has the authority to manage these federally owned lands.
