well i went hunting on the fist day of fire arms season , i went out to sit about an hour early to see absolutly nothing , so i wondered around for a while to see one deer track ,and nothing but beaten paths of coyote tracks. so i met up with some friends and we checkedx out a couple of more spots to find out the same thing . you could almost feal all them eyes on you, real creepy,so what ive seen the deer dont stay in one area for very long they move mor than usual. so i think the yoteis are getting to over populated especially when 4 coyotes chase a ten point buck on some ones back deck ,and kill it as thy each take turns on striking at the animal if activists think that killing off some of these rodents is cruel they might want to see how brutal it to see a deer get eaten alive with all of its guts hanging out .

profound knowledge.

I doubt elk and deer are grateful for the human reintroduction of over populated wild canines either, you people sure are quick to demonize other people being a NATURAL PREDATOR all the while approving of predation in general by wolves, coyotes, foxes, bears, and the like..Had your ancestors had your philosophy centuries ago then your blood line wouldn’t be here for us to tolerate..The history of Conservation Management with the allowance of harvest and take seasons since the late 19th Century which is well documented smashes your unproven failing imagined theory of how wildlife should be handled while living among humans.. Your anti hunter rhetoric leaks out Lee, you fool no one here..

ar,
I doubt any wild critter is grateful for “your care”, not even the deer.

Control coyote populations with year-round open season and it would still leave
coyotes in the woods. You can’t get rid of them entirely. What for? They will always be around. Too many isn’t good for anything and too few would mean
good hunting.

Can you figure out what to do when there are too many deer, elk, etc.? Remove
a portion of the open season. When I came out of my nitemare the last thing I
remembered was the lone wolf or coyote – so far away, up the road to Rangely -
I stepped on it to get close enough to see, thinking how good deer hunting has
always been.

1988 and I was 38 seeing my first….one. I wondered if it meant more would
come. We were taught to be on the lookout and shoot, even into the air…
back when hunting was good.

Emotions and feelings – for family and friends, please. Critters that kill to survive are not grateful you care.

Of course coyote numbers can be controled. The constant barrage of propaganda from the antis has convinced many otherwise. While they steadfastly maintain that coyotes are capable of adjusting birthrates in accordance with death rates is old theory, the lastest studies have shown litter size and survival to be a direct result of female age. They ignore these studies.
They have stopped the coyote snaring program in Maine deer yards, and are very close to ending trapping in Northern Maine. I don’t know how the few deer left in the big woods will survive.
I reside in an agricultural area. A group of hunters has been targeting the coyotes during the winter months here for 15 years or so. Despite the record winters we have been having, this small area has a healthy deer population
Go 5 or 10 miles in any direction and you’ll find a different scenario.
We can manage coyote populations, but we must regain the tools that have been lost to the antis in order to do so.

The only way to prevent coyotes from killing any sheep is to kill all coyotes. Bring on the mice!

The wreckage from so many ‘dogs’ running free can be slowed down and
eventually stopped. With persistence and lots of inovations, controlling the numbers can be accomplished over time.

Provided reasoning hasn’t escaped to feelings, killing the culprits everywhere
would aid in lessening the overall numbers.
