I dont think any one here is saying it is not possible to kill 18 coyotes in 2 days in utah, i think the point everyone is trying to get across is, IF they were using a helicopter is that fair to those who were calling coyotes. Beings this was a coyote CALLING contest.
if the rules were not stated that way then i guess it would not be technicaly cheating, but they would definately have the advantage, i put on a couple contests a year, but i would have never thought in my mind that somebody would use a helicopter ( it is not legal in utah) to kill coyotes.
so there fore if indeed they did use a chopper, if the rules stated to abide by all state laws would that not be cheating.
Coyotemaster5, You are right there a better coyote hunters-callers than others.Like the guys who took first place this year during our contest, they came in with twelve coyotes, and the next team came in with five (which happened to be my team) quite a difference in coyotes, but we did not discount them for a minute, because we could have been there with then if we could have got all the coyotes we called in. but it is only fair to compete with the ones that are out calling. If they did shoot them from choppers that is not any competition for a very experienced caller that knows all the locations.
I dont let all the riff raff ge to me, anyone who would like to participate in my hunts are welcome, i dont want to get to far in to it to get lie detector tests, if people cant be honest then that is up to them, we are based off of trust, and just getting out there and having a good time!
