WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man has settled a lawsuit with an animal rights group that sought to stop him from holding another coyote hunting contest.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit in Kansas court against organizers of the WaKeeney hunt held in January.

Jordan Bleske, a hunt organizer, told The Wichita Eagle the lawsuit was settled by agreeing to not hold the contest again and paying the organization $2,000 in legal fees.

The ALDF cited Kansas’ gambling laws to say the contest was a game of chance. Entrants paid $80 and whoever killed the most won $500.

A Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism lawyer says the department wasn’t contacted about the lawsuit. He thinks hunters could win such a case in Kansas courts because hunting takes skill.
