Hound hunting for coyotes died with QDM.
Alabama is unique from other States in the fact that if a dog barks on a property, all the deer on that property either die or leave to never come back. And, with the large territories that coyotes and foxes have, there are few properties large enough to have a relative assurance that the race will never leave it. So, the hound hunters resorted to building large fenced enclosures to run their dogs in. And, nowadays, due mostly to cost and the lack of allure of running in a 'pen', the Sport has basically died.
