Coyote Killing Contest

In this January 2014 photo provided by Curtis Wright shows Wright holding up a coyote he shot during a prize hunt near California City, California. Curtis shot the large coyote, weighing 45 pounds, from a distance of 60 yards. Wright says he has participated and won many prize coyote hunts. The California Fish and Game Commission is considering a ban on awarding prizes for coyote hunting, which critics considered to be cruel and unsportsmanlike. (AP Photo/Terry Wright)
