The terms of the competition are simple: Hunters in New Mexico have two days this weekend to shoot and kill as many coyotes as they can, and the winners get their choice of a free shotgun or a pair of semi-automatic rifles.

How about hunting gangbangers?
I am as Pro-2A as they come but despise hunts like this.

I am as Pro-2A as they come but despise hunts like this.I agree but probably for a different reason than you do. Coyotes are just too similar to dogs for me to shoot one. Couldn't do it. And yes, I know their bad qualities.

I assume the hunters are wise enough not to shoot anything that goes around on two legs, rather than four.
