Predator killing contests rejected in Dewey-Humboldt
Opponents of contests say predators provide critical role for healthy ecosystem

The Coyote Calling Tournament called “Santa Slay” is listed on the Call in the Country website, which also lists similar events in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Santa Slay is scheduled to take place somewhere in Dewey-Humboldt on Dec. 15 and 16 on public land and targets coyotes only. Competitions of this type are often advertised to an underground community that vies for cash prizes, high-powered rifles and trophy buckles for the most animals killed on the day of the contest.
