Page 44 THE SCOTTY, GLASGOW, MONTANA ON THE TRAIL OF THE COYOTE Following the evolution of transporattion, the haunts of the wily coyote have been sought successively on foot, horseback and in auotmobile, but never so success- county ranchers, will continue their efforts to keep Glasgow and vicinity armed from the air against the coyote. '---------A:v4:----- ---- -A-------- -A--A--A- r --------v-- ------...vv....... v......... fully as in the past few years with the coming of aircraft to Glasgow. During the past season, Gene Etchart, for- D , D B mer Glasgow High School student, and Harold Price, 4' commercial pilot, have killed about 140 coyotes, l I0 of which were killed in Valley county. Pilot Price is em- ployecl by Dr. A. N. Smith, Glasgow's No. l air enthu- Guaranteed Permanent Waxes siast and one of the promoters of Glasgow's fine muni- ' . . cipal airport, 1, With Those Desired Ringlet Ends! Most of the hunting is done from the cockpit of a Piper-Cub plane, powered by a 50 horsepower Lenape . motor. The method is to fly about 50 feet above the 1: 519 Sixth st- S0-, Glasgow: Mont- -' Phfme 410'-I ground until the hunters see a coyote. Then they dive iiggggggggg:::::::::::::::::::---:::::::::::, to about five feet above the animal, and while the pilot handles the machine, the other opens the door, leans f:AAA::::::::: -AA- ::::: :::::: :::::' over and shoots. An automatic shotgun is used, and if the mark is missed on the frist shot, proper wind condi- tions will sometimes permit a second or even a third ll ' shot at one animal. The plane is slowed down as much as it is possible to do and still maintain perfect control. When the prey has been killed the pilots search for the :I nearest possible landing place and return to skin their game.
