For every coyote that is seen and shot, there are probably half a dozen that go unseen. There is so much cover and area for them to live and hide that no matter how many you shoot, there will always be more around the next corner! For the last Month I've seen coyotes nearly everyday around the farm and layed down 8 to rest since November. Shot one yesterday and one this morning while feeding cows. When you shoot them your doing a favor to everyone. Farmers are happy the coyotes arent after their calves, acreage owners are happy the coyotes aren't teasing or hurting their domestic dogs and cats, stopping the spread of mange, and helping upland game numbers, waterfowl hatching mortality, saving 'bambi' s , etc. Etc!!! Once they pack up they can easily take down a full size deer! I've seen a packs of 4 and a pack of 6! There are more than enough around. Thinning them out should be encouraged! That's my to cents!
