[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1080025, member: 17764"] Lots of folks here know I have a very different opinion on coyotes. And I am NOT an anti hunter. We have - touch wood - proved it out on our farm which literally has a huge population of coyotes both on and around it. If you are NOT having trouble with coyotes - do not shoot them. These coyotes are the "good" ones who live off the land. If you kill them the new coyotes that move in might be the "bad" ones - that would rather eat your calves and lambs. Look - we have one of the densest coyote populations in Canada right where I live. To date - and I hope I do not jinx myself - we have had absolutely zero trouble with them. We raise a couple hundred sheep and provide the most tempting of targets three times a year - fresh lamb in the field. In the 12 years we have been here we have also been raising cattle here we have had zero trouble - in fact I have seen the coyotes right in the middle of the cow herd and walk right by new born calves. So - my answer - no. In fact I truly believe we bring our coyote troubles on ourselves and the real trouble maker is pookie down the road. I have indeed shot poodles, beagles, German shepherds, schnauzers, miniature dachsunds, one Brit Bulldog, a couple of rotweilers and a few that look like some sort of pitbull and more in chasing the lambs - some I have no clue where they came from as our nearest neighbour lives a couple miles away and the nearest village is about 5 maybe 6 miles away. What is needed is a bounty on pet dogs that are let out to "go pee and poo" at night and do not come home until morning. From the smallest to the largest - they are the worst when they get into a pack. I am willing to bet more than half of the troubles that are blamed on the lowly coyote are actually dogs. And these dogs - even the mini types will travel miles to cause trouble. Let the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune fly - but the lowly coyote is actually a needed commodity in the field in my opinion. I would bet that many who blame the coyote also never actually see him make the kill - they just see him eating the remains. There is not always guilt by association. Kill the neighbours dogs and watch the troubles go down. Shoot, shovel and shut the H.E.L.L. up. Best to all Bez [/QUOTE]
