Coyote Hunting


In this Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012 photo, Esteban Marquez, second from left, a supporter of a coyote hunting contest organized by Gunhawk Firearms, engages in a heated discussion with protester Jean Crawford, center, holding a sign that reads "Cruelest County in New Mexico Valencia County," in Los Lunas, N.M. Police separated Marquez and other supporters of the coyote hunt from the protesters shortly after Marquez and Crawford's conversation. Under the terms of the contest, 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.
