I started trapping exclusively to control coyote population after I saw them attacking fawning does during turkey season one year. I have since broadened my horizons and learned to process fur. It would not hurt my feeling to throw a coyote or any other damage control critter out. Wanton waste in our state does not count for damage control, and yes, people do get deprivation tags to kill deer in the summer in over populated areas. They are not required to harvest the meat or utilize anything on the deer. I like skinning what I catch, but I'm not going to skin a rubbed coyote or mangy one, so what is the difference?

Trapping is important to the north american conservation model not because we can hawk fur and sell coon roots for .50¢ at the flea market, trapping is necessary because it plays an important role in the ecology and conservation of fur bearers.

In the case of the bears, I even had to work ( didn't get paid for this work either) to get it legal to sell them through the opposition( they were getting paid) from ADFG. My public servants.
