I'm getting this second hand (but it comes from a gov't trapper friend of mine), that they (Authors Note: "they" can be defined as the left-wing, pinko, commie bedwetting, birkenstock-wearing, gaia-worshiping circus show of freaks that inhabit the California state assembly & legislature) are attempting to put forward a bill changing coyotes from a non-game species to a game specie. Piggybacked on this would be the outlawing of snares as a management tool. CA Department of Fish & Wildlife (which until very recently was the Dept. of Fish & GAME) won't lift a manicured finger to recommend against it, I'm confident. I asked the likelihood of this passing and was told that in the current political climate it'll sail through. Have any of you CA guys heard of this?
