From my understanding of Judges Boyles ruling in the 5 county area you can only trap coyotes with a permit. Can only shoot coyotes in defense or in defense of livestock.
If you take the Endangered Species Act's definition of "take" and extend it to the added protection for the coyote, then it is/would be a violation to "run" coyotes within the 5 county area.
How does a Nonessential Experimental Population (NEP) designation affect consultations?
Under the Endangered Species Act, species listed as endangered or threatened are afforded protection primarily through the prohibitions of section 9 and the requirements of section 7. Section 9 of the Act prohibits the take of endangered wildlife. "Take" is defined by the Act as harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound,kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to engage
in any such conduct. Service regulations (50 CFR17.31) generally extend the prohibitionof take to threatened wildlife.
I was referring to the red wolf if they were extinct then where did they come from and why bring them back. If a man can set a foot trap he is subject to catch a red wolf so what is the difference in trapping and shooting he will probably die either way.
