I have no objection to getting rid of coyotes- but it's not hunting. An exterminator getting rid of rats isn't hunting.

And why is that?

What is your "definition" of "hunting".

An exterminator getting rid of rats isn't hunting.

Wow, really? And I thought every time I put D-Con in the barn, I was "hunting". Thanks for straightening me out.

How about a golf course greenskeeper hunting gophers?

Coyotes are successful because they are smart, alert and adaptive. Hunting them successfully requires skill, especially in areas where they are used to hunting pressure.

Coyote and other types of varmint hunting may not fit your idea of fair chase big game hunting, but it's most certainly not like shooting rats at the dump.
