Shoot them all, that was distrubing
It's the best way to make more of them. If only it worked like that on elk and deer.

Shoot them all, that was distrubing
I could live to be 150 years old and I will NEVER understand the general hatred towards coyotes.
I like to watch them. I like to hear them. In my youth I loved to try and call them. They were my White Whale for many years in grade school. Finally we learned to call them and we learned to trap/snare them as well. Coyotes are smarter than 90% of the humans on the W.W.W. FACT.
No one will ever convince me they do not belong. The entire natural world would be far less of a wonderland without them.
I have to say that I disagree with the above statments that limiting coyote populations won't help the deer population. Clearly if someone had shot those coyotes ahead of time that buck would still be dead???? The statement regarding depredation not being effective is absolutely false. Tell that to a rancher who raises sheep...nope, trapping and shooting coyotes wont help one bit b/c they will change their breeding cycle??? haha! I do agree that of course if you have more food and habitat, you will likely get larger deer herds, but larger herds usually means MORE predators.
I never said I shoot everything. I hunt coyotes because I like to hunt. PERIOD. We have way too many of them where I live and that makes for some great predator hunting. And in Texas studies have shown that ranches that practice predator control- whether by hunting or trapping do have a higher fawn survival rate.
Take it for it what it's worth. I don't hate coyotes. I like them. They are like feral hogs here. You'll never get rid of them but they sure are fun to hunt.
Good to see they still issue Biology Degrees with the purchase of 2-18 packs of Keystone Light.
What do you suppose the country side would look like there if Coyotes were gone? Do you think coyotes are an invasive species? Is there anything good that a coyotes does? I would never lump them in the same category as feral hogs. They are what they are, predators. Feral they are not!
Who said anything about eliminating coyotes? I said I hunt them because I like to hunt. If you are against predator hunting then say so. They kill goats, sheep, calves and most often folks domestic pets. They don't want them around. Did you guys give Randy so much hell about his wolf hunt?
And for the record I am not pointing the finger solely at you shoots-straight. I am asking anyone else who has had a foul thing to say about coyote hunting, is this a hunting forum or not? Do we bash those who hunt Mountain Lions or wolves or bobcats etc?
And the feral hog comparison was nothing more than a numbers comment- hunt them all you want, they are still not gonna go anywhere. Of course they aren't invasive.

Randy shot a coyote during his wolf hunt, and has admittedly hunted and trapped them! Oh my I bet Hell is waiting for the two of you!!!! I say try to kill them all!!!
Dude, it's not the fact that your hunting them that's getting flack. It's the fact that your passing them off for vermin, and or feral. I'm just pointing out that they are an animal worth some sort of respectful treatment.
Randy always treats every animal with respect.
BTW, I kill lots of coyotes, and trap as well. Hope to kill a couple of wolves, and consider them a worth while species.
Coyotes kill domestic pets most often??
Lemme guess, you are a product of the State of Texas edjumacation system?
