Controversial coyote shooting contest cancelled


A popular Albuquerque shooting store is cancelling a plan to sponsor a coyote hunt next month.
 Calibers said after a week of nasty Facebook comments, emails and phone calls, it decided the contest wasn't the right fit for the company's image. 
Earlier this week a contest was announced which would've rewarded the hunter who killed the most coyotes with two AR-15 semi-automatic firearms. The hunt was to have strict guidelines and was requested by farmers and ranchers across the state. But animal lovers quickly pounced on the idea, calling it inhumane and in bad taste.
