Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida running back Montrell Johnson has been cleared to play against No. 19 Miami on Saturday, a huge boost for the underdog Gators. Johnson had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after sustaining an injury during the first week of training camp. But he returned to practice this week and was listed as a starter Wednesday. “If he’s on that depth chart — at the top of the list — that means he’s ready to go,” coach Billy Napier said following practice Wednesday night. Johnson has played in every game since following Napier to Gainesville from Louisiana-Lafayette. He has 1,658 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns in two years with the Gators despite sharing repetitions with Trevor Etienne.
