Hunters Robert Brown, left, and Charlie, who didn t want to give his last name, carry a coyote to be weighed during the 17th annual Sullivan County Coyote Hunt in Laporte, Pa., Sunday, Feb. 23, 2020. Brown shot the 38 lb. female coyote in Wyoming County. Although proponents say the coyote population needs to be controlled, many opponents of these killing contest-style hunts say they’re barbaric and disrupt the natural balance, taking out a “keystone predator” that controls rodent and pest populations and keeps feral cats, raccoons, and skunks in check as well.
