Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a decision by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) to allow coyote snaring in lynx territories. The rules for the winter of 2001 will also permit shooting over bait and chasing with dogs to reduce the number of coyotes, which prey on deer. The situation has raised questions about IFW's interest in protecting the lynx, which is the subject of an on-going study by IFW biologists.
