Justin M,
Here in Ohio, the Ohio Insurance Commission puts a lot of "pressure" on our DNR for deer permits and more liberal seasons. This comes from their having to pay for all the cars that hit deer each year. 
I don't doubt your theory on an insurance company being involved, in some manner.
However, the budget for all the costs involved in such a project could be in the millions. Just the payroll for the people involved, unless they're DNR officers, could be some serious cash.
Think about the costs for trapping (trap costs, labor, ear tags), transportation (fuel and drivers) and food/water/care for the coyotes until they get where they're going. Even if they were released at night, someone would have or should have seen such an operation. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Even so.....it's possible. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Good hunting, Bowhunter57
