I went Muley hunting by vermillion and couldn't believe the coyotes there . Shot 3 one night with bow . And there were more howling . At home I hardly ever here them . So yes some places have more yotes with maybe less pressure.
I hunt the bowzone at Okotoks evry year , have for the past 34 years and this year is lowest numbers I have seen or heard there . Are they gone ? Hardly , maybe just a slight dip in population . Since I started snaring them seriously a couple years ago I havent killed a coyote after Mar1 or before end of October , that is the way I regulate my harvest .
