Four Iowa men have been charged with illegally pursuing coyotes with the use of snowmobiles. The quartet allegedly were chasing down coyotes in Clayton and Delaware counties. According to law enforcement officers, the men spread out and drove their snowmobiles through sloughs and fields to flush coyotes, then ran the animals over. The coyotes would be left behind either injured or dead.

DNR law enforcement agents acted on complaints from area hunters who witnessed or heard about the activity, and who thought the snowmobilers' actions were appalling

"We probably would not have made this case if not for concerned sportsmen and sportswomen who reported it," says Aron Arthur, the investigating conservation officer.

Why?    Why do people do such things?
I hope the officials make a good example out of them and hit em with everything they can.

 :wo: You mean there is a wrong way to kill coyotes? :confused:

In the 70's up here they went after them with planes, ski-doos and anything else they could get after them with.  I never seen the sport in it but there were guys that paid for their skidoos with their take.  Didn't seem to hurt the population much either.  Now they still do it for fun but getting caught is a mite more expensive.
I say what I think not think what I say.

They probably run them over, because carrying a loaded weapon on a snowmobile is illegal.  Driving ditches and creek lines isn't very sporty, but to each their own.

sounds like something that would happen in the south..with the snowmobiles being replaced with monster trucks...  :biggrin:

Its good to know there are people (sportsmen and sportswomen) that do respect the wildlife still. Seems awfully stupid to have your Ski-Doo confiscated for evidence for running down coyotes wit it...I sure hope thats what the officers did.

Corn fed not so much hairy........the younger women 1 man can handle but the "mature" herd leaders you want 2 men on the snowmobile....one guy drives up along side of em and the other jumps off and bulldogs em.... :wink:

Its just like snowshoe hare hunting you gotta get em when they cross the fields and powerlines  :innocentwhistle:...its getting tougher now though....one of them must have watched one of those damn animal planet shows....instead of running the older females now form a defensive circle with the young ones in the middle..like musk ox and bison do.... :wink:
