Thanks for sharing Steve. That summary about the coyotes is the research and study I most often reference on here when guys tell others to shoot every one you see if you want to make a difference. You can shoot all that you see, but you are not making a difference in the immediate coyote population due to transient coyotes roaming through and eventually setting up shop to live in your domain until they are killed too. The speaker at Ames that briefed the research few years back said constant intense trapping could make an appreciable difference, but you have to continue doing it at high intensity over time and that quickly becomes very costly, so most landowners abandon it, and the coyote population/problem reverts right back to where it was within 1-2 years. His take away message was the same, we are going to have to learn to live with them.
On another note, the face of the article, Mr. Kevin Jernigan hunts with us out at Ames Plantation. He is a north MS guy, a really nice fellow that loves to deer hunt. He killed that tall racked buck last December.
