Elgin, Ariz. – Federal authorities have killed 200 coyotes in southeastern Arizona in the past three weeks after ranchers complained that they were eating calves.
The hunt, which ended Friday, was conducted from aircraft as part of a program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The shootings took place on private and public land used by 10 to 15 ranchers, the Arizona Daily Star reported Sunday.
No documentation was available last week on how many calves had been killed, but the government said it has confirmed losses.
