This is why coyotes must be hunted relentlessly.

Probably good eatin…
I LOVE killing yotes, but we have too many deer in my area of MN. Constantly dodging them with the pickup. I’ll be able to shoot 5 again this year, 4 does and 1 Buck. You know there’s a problem when the state lets you kill that many, and my buddies body shop gets about 70% of their regular work from deer hits.

And our hunting property south of Duluth hasn't had a deer seen in 3 years. Wolves......

Yeah, it’s a pity that the wolves are out of control. We won’t see another regular moose hunt in MN again because of the wolves. A kindergarten student could see the chart of moose population inverse with wolf population and know the root cause.
We need to take a different approach to endangered species and/or figure out how to deal with this problem better. What we do doesn't work, period. Now we have terrible wolf and bear problems in many states because of the way we tend to deal with this issue. Something must change.

That doesn't look to me like a coyote ate that fawn. It just doesn't show enough damage like ripping and tearing that coyotes do.
I'm thinking smaller predator and or birds. Now if you found a bunch of coyote tracks...? jd

My thoughts are that wolves were brought under control back when poisoning was a good option and there were vast areas of land that weren't populated which facilitated shoot on sight and trapping. Public opinion was such that anyone could comprehend that they were a problem. Now days we are a nation with a high percentage of fools who can only think like the common consensus on social media. In my state they have brought back alligators and eagles successfully. With gators to the point that they are simply everywhere. Fortunately, most of the wildlife guys are prone to look the other way when one disappears.
I recently read a book about coyotes and one thing that is interesting is that the coyotes have learned to live with/off the wolves. They will observe wolves on a kill and move in when they leave to police the scraps.
The cyanide tools Mr. Broughton used looked like a tent stake, but had a spring loaded with the trigger wrapped in felt. You cocked the spring, inserted a cyanide capsule about the size of a 38 special case, and painted the felt with rotted meat juice. Coyote comes along, can resist a pull on the felt, and gets cyanide shot down his throat. He won't make it 20 feet. The county paid him $20K a year to kill them and he would stack them up at the property gates so the ranchers could see he was successful. In Texas, there weren't many incidental kills other than a bobcat or three.

Trust me it's a coyote kill with 2000 coyotes taken I know my game,thx. Trapping, snaring calling and baiting since teen years.
We cannot kill wolves in most countries of Europe. their population increase by 30% yty. Wolves advocacy groups have huge support in mainstream media. I see how much damage wolves made in roe and red deer population over last 5 years. This is unbelievable and we cannot legally do anything about it.

Grüne vor Kurswechsel in der Wolfspolitik
Die Zahl der Wölfe steigt. Die Grünen in Niedersachsen haben sich bislang immer gegen Abschüsse gewehrt, denken nun aber grundsätzlich um. Was bedeutet das?

Coyotes are like cockroaches, they will always be around. One may think they are thinning them out, eliminating a pair usually makes an elusive pair more successful in raising a whole litter. I have seen it with coons first hand.
The few folks I know that hunt them only do so in cooler temps, they are not fur hunters. Urban areas have more predators than most people realize.
My attitude towards coyotes, you either kill them or educate them. There is no in between.
I myself have no issues with a coyote keeping the deer population in check around here. It’s when there are no deer rabbits or mice that they tend to cause issues. However, if pups run with both parents and they tackle live stock, that is a learned trait that can be hard to break up in the burbs.
This county is now all city limits. Still a fairly large number of cattle and more sheep and goats than I ever dreamed of around. Being city limits, the days of zapping a coyote out of the truck window for a neighbor are gone.
Friends son raising cattle now, he mentioned a while back that coyotes are more of a problem today than prior to the urbanization.
Snares and trapping are about out because the city people don’t keep Fido in check.

Something is weird around here this year. We live in coyote country, and usually go to bed and wake up in the morning to the sound of coyotes yipping and howling. This year--- nothing.
I'm starting to wonder if there is a Parvo epidemic or something. jd

The old timers here worked hard to thin out those big predators....now we have gators, bears and even big cats---I dont feel its safe when my kids go to the creek fishing...they could get between a sow and her cub, cat travels down creek...and its only a matter of time until you read about a texan getting gator bit on the river here...Our game dept has done nothing but endanger the public by re-introducing what took so long to control....the state doesnt send me a check when i lose calves to coyotes, my neighbor has lost calves in slough to a big gator---state did not help...get out there and kill them is my advice
