Hey MB, I just watched a news report on national news about the chase of a coyote in central park. I have to admit I laughed my ass off at a bunch of city boys trying to get a kyeoat, as it's prounouced around here. That's Saturday nite entertainment here in the sticks. Pint of Jack, 3 coondogs, 30 yr old Ford F150 (de riegur for hunters) 2 guys and a couple of rifles.
Good coondogs sell for upwards of $500 around here.
I personally don't hunt, but have no problem with it.
P.S. I still need to get back to you on the freakonomics. I forgot all about it.
