"A gun shop owner behind a weekend coyote hunt contest said he has come up with an idea that will help please animal lovers.\" going to show the public this is not a waste,\" Chavez said.Gunhawk Fire Arms in Los Lunas owner Mark Chavez said the pelts collected during the contest will be sold for $50 each, and the money will go to a scholarship fund for an agriculture student.\"I would like to raise about $2,500. I think that would be a nice scholarship for someone,\" he said.Store employee Josh Waters said he hopes the donation will take some of the stigma away from the contest.\"This is not a money making proposition for us, it's a community for us,\" Waters said.Chavez said if the pelts do not sell, he will \"hand them out to the homeless if we have to.\"Commissioner of Public Lands Ray Powell said the promise of donating the profits is a blatant public relations move.\"There is nothing redeeming about this,\" he said.Powell said splitting coyote families apart will just boost their reproduction rates.\"You go out and you blow them all up, and they splinter the family group and their reproductive rate goes up,\" he said.Chavez said it will take at least five months for the taxidermist to prepare the coyote pelts."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
