Coyotes
Every year for years now we see more of these and less red fox & rabbits.

Lots of them around our neck of the woods also... Coyote season starts after Whitetail season closes for me..

Wolves here are changing our coyote population. They don't seem to get along well.

My Grandkids have pasture raised goats. That's a challenge in coyote land. 10,000 volt electric fences and 140# guard dogs do a pretty good job of discouraging coyotes. SOS and trapping helps but the surrounding area is full of yoties just waiting to fill any gap left by killed coyotes.

I've seen videos of wolves killing coyotes in Yellowstone. The wolves seem to do it for sport.

We have coyote hunters in our area. They have all the equipment and can be spotted at night lined up along the roads at night doing their best to eradicate them. They never run out of targets.
My beagles and heelers keep them off the farm and away from the livestock. Many nights Shiggles starts off inside and around 2300 hrs she's at the door whining to get out. She and the heelers hit the fields in a frenzy. I believe they keep the deer in the area safe. The deer have begun to bed down/feed along the line between field and woods.

Everybody around here hates coyotes,mostly because they are fawn killers.I have shot a few while deer hunting but I have changed to that I sort of admire their cunning and survival skills.I watched one a few years ago outsmart a pack of domestic dogs chasing it across a clear cut.I would imagine that with heartworms,parvo,distemper and all the canine diseases now that coyotes probably have a pretty short lifespan.

I always keep a rifle close by case I see a coyote out in the fields or around back from the house. I did get to see two coyotes partially take down a doe once. I was at work in the winter, we were waiting in this shanty to switch a train. All of a sudden this deer run by and about 5 seconds later here comes this coyote behind following it. I went out and looked over this hill the shanty was on and down below were two coyotes and the deer. They had crippled one of the deers back legs and it couldn’t fight back. When the coyotes seen me they back off a little ways and the deer hobbled trying to make distance. They are pretty smart, they cripple the deers leg then start on the other leg to bring it down.

As cruel as it seem's, everything has to eat.

Coyotes require heavy culling by hunters/trappers or Mother Nature does the culling in very harsh terms.
I help Mother Nature at every opportunity. Shoot them with a rifle. Trap them. Run over them with the pickup if that's how it happens. As a livestock grower, I've fought coyote problems for almost 60 years.

Anything short of a small nuclear device should be legal to kill coyotes or wolves.
JMHO.

We have lived here at least 35 years we hear them all the time some close espevialy when crops are up some not so much just distant calling
I have seen one in that whole time and it's was skirting the field just inside the crop line a few years ago it was so fast I just got to see a few seconds of it
We have had. Chickens the whole time and they have always had free run of the place and get locked up at night
I would guess we have lost a couple that got into the corn fields when it's up maybe 4 or 5 but lost more to raccoons who have a short lifespan if I see them messing with the chickens
My best guess with the dogs marking the area it must help keep them away
As far as being cruel watch some videos of big cats taking down pray in Africa
they will gang up one will grab the neck and they also will bite and eat the family jewels off the big game as it a favorite part for them to eat while still fighting with it
Wow it Hurts to even watch them being eaten alive
or the crocks taking down anything they can get a hold of
But all preadotors have no feelings it's all about eating and getting the victims down
Mother nature has a cruel side also

I shot the last coyote that's been around here. It had some kind of disease. It was dragging its face on the ground, stumbling and falling down as it made its way across the backyard.
then I took him out in the woods and buried him.

@toad67 , I agree it does seem cruel but I understand that is how life is in the animal world. I just feel fortunate in that I got to witness this technique that they use to hunt. I’m not defending the coyotes , there are way too many of them today. No one hunts or traps them anymore account of the pelts aren’t worth anything anymore. I also might add that, that night it was cold and there had been a lot of snow on the ground for a couple weeks, I guess they weren’t just hungry but desperate as well to eat.

We have some in Rochester NY , they follow the Genesee river . I've only seen two but that tells me there's a lot more.

All those folks with fuzzy kitties and mop dogs in the back yard better be concerned if/when things get tough for the suburban coyotes.

My girlfriends daughter lives in Atlanta, in a subdivision 7 miles from downtown. Coyotes have invaded this neighborhood. Every year we go down there at Christmas, and I will see a "WANTED" poster on the telephone pole, including a pic of the cat. MISSING< FLUFFY> NOT SEEN SINCE SINCE NOV. 18."
Fluffy got eaten, like an Egg McMuffin. Monica told me that an indoor/outdoor cat there will last about 6 months at best. Illegal to fire a gun there, and most Atlanta libs don't have guns anyway.
