[QUOTE="cattle_gal, post: 57983, member: 643"] Oh Craig please don't sound like those predator lovers and say coyotes never engage in sport killing. That's like saying they only kill the sick,weak and old. I've been fighting the predator lovesr for how long now - 10 years. Not so much since Bush was elected into office. And they haven't much liked me being so up front and rather blunt in Ag newspaper commentaries with the children that are doing classrooom pro wolf/coyote projects. Those projects are another thing that not been so much of around the country since Bush has been in office. Coyotes are only a smaller version of wolves. And a once good livestock dog that goes bad is no different. Once they get blood in their mouth you can never stop it except with fast lead. But let me tell you coyotes and wolves love sport killing. We lost 1/2 of our band the last year we were in the sheep business, because of coyotes and bobcats. It's not very comforting to watch a coyote run through the band and as fast as he could run he was snapping necks as quickly. And that is was not a rare instance. And couldn't shoot them as they were doingit either. They never stopped running after they got out of the sheep jsut kept going just as fast. Things got bad after Nixon banned 24D. They do like to hit calves and sheep in the hind. The yearling instances I was speaking of are with the wolves. But we have had chunks of rear taken out of yearlings a few times about 20 years ago. Have since gotten out of sheep and yearlings. You see Craig there is a reason why we needed to enhance the mother cows instincts. Life is very different up here in the high mountains verus the south and the lower valleys away from the mountains. Especially where predator lovers want predators to flourish which happens to be where livestock is. Here's a site I'd like you to take a look at- [url=http://montanalife.tripod.com]Montana Life[/url] [/QUOTE]
