At the February Wildlife Commission meeting in Reno, Chairman Mahlon Brown wondered about the lion population figures. (If there are really that many lions in our state). He told of recently speaking with a group of hunters who came across twelve freshly killed deer. The hunters said that coyotes killed ten of the deer. That brings us to this question. What have NDOW and the Wildlife Commission done about the coyotes?

The answer is the same thing they have done about the mountain lion. NOTHING! Well, almost nothing. When the Mule Deer Foundation in Elko wanted to reduce coyote numbers, the Wildlife Commission outlawed the contest.

It is quite apparent that the Wildlife Commission does not want to do anything about predators in our state. This is exactly the same path that NDOW is following and just what the antis want.
