http://www.ktvz.com/news/settlement-ends-se-oregon-coyotekilling-contest/27151616PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) � An animal-rights group and the organizer of an annual coyote-killing contest in southeast Oregon have settled competing lawsuits with an agreement that there will be no more hunting contests. Coyotes are classified as predatory animals under Oregon law, and there are no limits on killing them. Faced with that reality, the Animal Legal Defense Fund sued on the grounds that the contest violated anti-gambling laws. Organizer Duane Freilino said Friday he agreed to the contest-ending settlement because he ran out of money to pay attorneys. Stephen Wells, executive director of the animal-rights group, says the agreement means hundreds of coyotes can live peacefully in the wilderness. Freilino said he started the contest almost a decade ago to increase winter tourism in the sparsely populated region and to help ranchers by reducing coyote numbers before calving season.

Just talked to Duane on the phone today. That didn't set well with him. He had to take out a loan on his pickup to settle the lawsuit.

Since he is the only one that agreed to that there is nothing to stop everyone in that town from having their own coyote contest.

There really should be a varmint hunt organized. I'd drive up from OK.

Everyone can show up without an official leader/organizer to sue, and still have their fun. Having the gathering 20 miles in on a SE Oregon desert road (rocky as hell, and impassable when it rains) would also keep the hippy and his Prius from finding the party in the first place.

I've participated in a coyote contest in the North Eastern Corner of California's Modoc County for several years. Last year the media got hold of the event and a reporter from a liberal rag in Chico Ca figured he'd go up there and do an expose on the hunt. He got a little more than he'd bargained for... This is a good read. http://www.newsreview.com/chico/coyote-hunt/content?oid=9154522

not picking a fight here Chris, but I have a feeling that Duane lives like I do out in the country with "close" neighbors miles away. town for us is incidental. we shoot yotes on sight because they can cost us tens of thousands in a years time. its bad enough for the bastids to kill a calf but some times they will maim a cow and that is a long term loss. anytime there is a threat via animals here we all get together and have a hunt. I suspicion this is how Duane started his hunt.
this is the favorite tactic of the left. bankrupt via litigation.

Freilino had filed a counterclaim for $100,000. Arguing the counter-suit was an attempt at intimidation, the groups filed a motion to dismiss the counter-suit, leading Freilino to drop his meritless claim and settle the lawsuit against him by agreeing never to host another hunting contest in Oregon and to pay $5,252 in attorney fees to the animal groups.http://aldf.org/press-room/press-releases/animal-protection-groups-stop-coyote-killing-contest/

BASTIDS! That is exactly the way it is. Duane makes $2500 a month working as a cowboy for a large remotely located ranch. He didn't have the funds to hire enough lawyers to compete with the 4-5 lawyers that the environmentalists have on staff full time. What the news story didn't mention is the calls to Duane threatening to kill him and his wife, so that they could kidnap his young daughter and raise her so that she wouldn't have to be around hunting. The harassing calls went on for some time....

Salmonella,
Here's a quote from that Chico news piece you linked:
-----------------------
"Coyotes feed mostly on rodents, and in doing so keep in check the population of the animals most responsible for transmitting such deadly diseases as hantavirus and bubonic plague. Last summer, nine people contracted hantavirus in Yosemite National Park; three of them died."
-----------------------
Doesn't the writer know that there isn't any coyote hunting in Yosemite NP? Doesn't what happened in Yosemite with the unhunted coyotes not taking care of the hantavirus carrying rodents smash all of his theories about how the world of predators works (i.e., you should leave the coyotes alone so they take care of the disease-carrying rodents)? Apparently the coyotes in Yosemite don't do a good job or don't know the job the leftist huggers have assigned to them.
On another, separate note, from the descriptions in the linked story, it appears there are some good law enforcement personnel in Northeastern California.

The people making those murderous threats need to be put UNDER the jail - those are truly sick, perverted, vile, and violent terrorists who would make such threats. Some of those leftist animal huggers are as bad as, if not worse than, al-Qaeda.
