Why coyotes need managed

[okie archer]

I forgot about a trail cam and left it out all year. Was going through the gallery this morning when I discovered these pics. The pic of the doe was two minutes later.

Yup! I like to 25-06 the 'yotes.

Rough on the fur, but I'm just trying to thin 'em out anyway. The 25-06 is my primary mule deer rifle, so it's good field practice for me as well.

Regards, Guy

Let's talk about squirrel management lol but definitely need to management yotes

 

[Boarmaster]

Oh yes they eat the heck out of whitetail fawns.

 

[Schaaf]

They’re arguably this country’s best renewable resource. I’m skeptical, to say the least, that we can effectively manage them with our current tools in the toolbox.

I say that as someone that calls coyotes every winter.

 

[BuzzH]

Does your state have a shortage of whitetails?

Nothing wrong with some predation, and nothing wrong with shooting some coyotes either.

 

[Gr8bawana]

There are no limits on the number of coyotes you can hunt and kill, nor are there state-imposed regulations for weapon use for hunting coyotes. If you decide you want to skin coyotes that you hunt and kill and profit from the sales, then you must obtain a trapping license from the state.

No season and no limit yet coyote numbers never seem to go down.
Are there really states where coyotes are protected in some way?

dedication will always get the job done, 24/7 will do it
took me a year to decimate the rabbits on my oz property

White people have been trying to eradicate song dogs since they landed on Plymouth Rock. So far, the coyotes have won, admirably. I once heard a big wig in the animal sciences who was looking at ways to reduce predation on livestock describe the situation as "trying to dig a hole in the ocean."

Everybody loves veal, except for vegetarians. Good for the old trickster for getting a meal.

From the article above has always been my understanding.
I admire their perseverance. Good to know there’s a few facets of nature man cannot exert absolute control over, despite their best efforts.

The point of my post was to share what I thought was a very cool moment in nature that my trail camera captured. Not necessarily a scientific debate. However, shortage of deer or not I still root for the deer.

I shoot every coyote I see on the spot no matter the time of year. mtmuley

Me as well. I know a lot of people won’t shoot them while hunting deer but I certainly will.

 

[Forkyfinder]

Full disclosure. I still shoot them.

Just dont think we are fixing anything by doing so unless we are taking dens out with tannerite

 

[TrapperJ]

I trap em and I shoot them and if you wanna get spicy with it I also hit them with a 97 f250. Last time I heard a pack of yotes was a couple years ago. Still trying to figure out how to legally remove a black panther family

I regret letting one go at first light of deer opener. Only seen doe and fawn pairs all day anyhow.

Im with you. Also have no problem harvesting them though.

I watched a lone coyote chase a fawn all thru a field one evening. Momma stomped the coyote 2x times and the fawn was what I thought essentially caught 2 times, but somehow that little bugger managed to get away. It was a good 10 minute battle.

Dan Flores points out this science in his book "Coyote America". Litter size increases when a certain density low is triggered. The mechanism appears to be in whether they hear howls from other family groups.
