- The First Annual 2-Day Coyote and Wolf Hunting Derby is a commercial hunt prohibited by Idaho regulations;
- It violates the 15hunter maximum participation rule;
- It violates the IDFG Commission thirteen year wildlife policy: However, the Department will not support any contests or similar activities involving the taking of predators which may portray hunting in an unethical fashion, devalue the predator, and which may be offensive to the general public. The Department opposes use of bounties as a predator control measure.
