But that was way before my time here in Alberta, and completely unsubstantiated, but did something like that actually happen?

That is not urban legend, it is how it went down - except the video didn't really "get out", some fellow took a news crew with him from a local station.
And, yes, it was a travesty how the rest of the hunting community just stood by and watched while the coyote hunters were fed to the wolves.
But that has nothing to do with the ban on being accompanied by dogs while big game hunting as that rule predates the hound on 'yotes ban by many, many years.
