Idaho's Wolf-Kill Derby Back On Schedule
The controversial Idaho predator derby is back on, scheduled from Thursday through Sunday.
The “Predator Hunting Contest and Fur Rendezvous,” hosted by Idaho for Wildlife*, will be held on U.S. Forest Service and private land near Salmon, Idaho. The contest has been barred from U.S. Bureau of Land Management land, which reduces by half the area where the derby would be held.
In November BLM canceled the group’s special permit to use 3 million acres of BLM land after the Center for Biological Diversity, Advocates for the West, the Western Watersheds Project and Project Coyote threatened a lawsuit.

Though wolves are protected in the state of Oregon, they’re considered fair game in Idaho. In 2013, a federal judge ruled that Idaho for Wildlife didn’t need a Forest Service permit for the annual event because the organization was encouraging use of the forest for a lawful activity.

* -- WTF?? 
= new reply since forum marked as read
The private landowner has piles of dead animals and that attracts coyotes and the coyotes eat, learn to kill suffering downer animals as some animals take weeks to die. They breed a lot because the food is provided by piles of dead and suffering 'livestock. Their pups grow up only knowing the feeding on dead and taking young newborns from starving mothers. Of course these coyotes also go after neighboring ranchers if the dead pile goes away. That private landowner did "something" to attract those 100 coyotes that were shot!!
No private land without piles of food attracts 100 coyotes who do not flee a couple hundred people, with their noise and ATVs unless they were fed and used to those conditions. fence or no fence.
distance shot of piles of dead 'livestock' that still gives me nightmares.
