[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5265245, member: 21439"] Interesting observation. I’ve killed coyotes while hunting deer. This might be viewed as heresy, but I sometimes wonder about how effective killing coyotes really is. I remember some MeatEater podcasts with Dan Flores, a mentor of Rinella’s. Flores has studied and written about coyotes. Said they respond to “persecution” different than wolves. A Wolf pack sticks together and can be eliminated easily. Coyotes disperse and become “settlers” of new territory. If the breeding female coyote is killed, the pack has a population explosion as the alpha male breeds all available females until an alpha female emerges. Probably the way to best manage is a persistent, annual trapping program over a period of years, but should kills of convenience while hunting be reconsidered? [/QUOTE]
