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- fully as in the past few years with the coming of aircraft to Glasgow. During the past season, Gene Etchart, for- mer Glasgow High School student, and Harold Price, commercial pilot, have killed about I40 coyotes, l I0 of which were killed in Valley county. Pilot Price is em- ployed by Dr. A. N. Smith, Glasgow's No. l air enthu- siast and one of the promoters of Glasgow's fine muni- cipal airport. Nlost 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 ground until the hunters see a coyote. Then they dive to about five feet above the animal, and while the pilot handles the machine, the other opens the door, leans 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 shot at one animal. The plane is slowed clown as much county ranchers, will continue their efforts to keep Glasgow and vicinity armed from the air against the coyote. pc-as ------ -'- ----- ---A- A Doris Daum Beauty Shop EE Guaranteed Permanent Waxes IL With Those Desired Ringlet Ends!
