Depredation: noun; the act of preying upon or plundering; robbery; ravage.
‘These clips are from a couple of coyote depredation hunts. The coyotes were doing a lot of damage to wildlife and cattle on multiple ranches, so it was decided to bring in the helicopters and some shooters that knew how to run a rifle. These were depredation hunts, not fair chase hunts. As you’ll see, there’s nothing fair to the coyotes about shooting from a helicopter. It was great experience and anyone that has the opportunity to participate in aerial gunnery should do so because it’s educational and well…yeah…fun!’ infinity400cb
