[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1784628, member: 40587"] Some fox hunting club brought the first ones to GA in the 40's. Somewhere down in south Ga. Fox hunting in the south is not the Tally-Ho on horses thing. It is where you get together in the woods, build a fire, and sit around all night listening to the hounds chase foxes. Idiots who think foxes, bobcats etc. " hurt the quail and rabbit populations" had decimated the fox population in some areas/ Well the coyotes took to GA like a duck does to water. Ironically, they about finished off the fox population in their areas. We have coyotes in the down town of big cities here in GA. Coyotes are here in huge numbers now. They have not hurt the deer and turkey population here at all. they will strengthen the population , as all predators always do sine the beginning of time. They do not hurt the quail or rabbit population either. I was a Fish & Wildlife biology major in college, and part of a study of the decline in quail poulations (this was in the mid 70's after cotton was almost gone and the whole state started planting beans). Idiots were shooting hawks, bobcats and what foxes were left on sight. The resuts of the study were ( as I had suspected it would be, just watching the way famers were doing their beans as compared to how they did cotton fields) that the biggest cause of the quail population decline was loss of habitat. 2nd biggest was predation by feral dogs and cats. and it stil is today. 47 years later.
