Do coyote bounties work?

[Taurus]

Coyotes do kill the newborn calves and may will eat the cows alive while they're having a hard time to give birth or unable to get up. Just never underestimate the coyotes. But I do have more problems with the wolves than the coyotes. Thank god for the wolf hunting season! That said, someone lost a longhorn cow to a wolf pack last Oct. On other bright side, there are zero reports of the dogs killing the livestock in our local area.

You're lucky. They get together around here and wreck havoc on cattle. Everyone has an owner and is nothing but a pet at home but get with the pack and they are cold blooded killers. Guess your coyotes are more brave than ours as ours tend to be very shy, will eat some afterbirth if they have the chance but have never harmed a calf let alone "ate the cow".

I guess it has do something with the wolves take care of the free roaming dogs. The wolf populations has been increasing in recently years and we seldom see any coyotes or foxes around here. Never see any stray dogs or a dog that went wandering around for awhile. There was 50 depredation permits on our local area this year before the wolf season opened and 23 wolves were harvested out of our area so far.
