Border Dogs
Along the desolate Utah/Nevada state line, coyotes are in every scene, even if they don’t always follow the script.
 The empty sage flats in western Utah’s West Desert stretch on for unbroken miles, but the landscape is surprisingly full of life. Horned toads, jackrabbits and flitting lizards are everywhere, and so are coyotes. Federal’s Tim Brandt waits for a long-distance coyote to give him an open shot.

Cool!
Why are they hunting coyotes in the middle of a desert? Are they endangering livestock out there, or are they just hunting them because they like to kill something?
Dear Richmond,
Once upon a time the coyote had a predator named wolf. When people came to the coyote and wolf's home, farms, ranches, towns and cities were soon everywhere. People didn't like to have the wolf close so they had people with guns kill the wolf. The coyote was happy to see the wolf gone and he sent his cubs North, South, East and West from his range in the desert country. A whole world opened up for the coyote. He was free to gobble up little bunny rabbits from Texas to Alaska, from Maine to California. He got bigger and he got bolder and he got smarter. Soon he was gobbling up little spotted fawns across the country. He loves the tasty cats and small dogs from the suburbs and calves when they are in season. Then there came a day when a hunter thought to himself, "Maybe losing Mr. Wolf was not so good an idea." So, he wisely decided that he would take up the role of the wolf and so the coyote hunter came to be. The balance was restored and they all lived happily ever after.
I thought you would fancy a story like version about Mr. Coyote though the facts within this story are not what you are accustomed to hearing.
I think the rest of the story goes, AND They Lived Happily Ever After.good one Kody
Kody, as silly as your story may sound to some people I believe that is the best method for teaching anti's anything. They usually have very creative emotional minds that need a drawn out explanation before they will even consider the other side. Well done.
Dear Richmond,
Why haven't you written back? I have tried the gentle approach to providing you with a coyote education and wonder if you learned any lessons from my bedtime story? Having answered your question, common courtesy dictates that you reply. You contend these coyote hunters are killers without reason. If you leave this remark unsupported then you are a nastier breed of character than the hunters that you insult. So, let's hear your point of view in full and we will see if we can arrive at some kind of understanding.
