[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5643071, member: 1409"] In times past, when the primary reason for many was to sell the furs, this made sense. Today, why not trap coyotes (and raccoons) year-round? The coyotes you trap in January-February produce a [U]local range "void[/U]", that is [U]often largely re-filled by other "roaming" coyotes [I]BEFORE[/I] turkey eggs hatch[/U]. The way I look at it, if I trap 5 coyotes on 300 acres in January, the reality is more akin to having just reduced the coyote population on the surrounding 3,000 acres from 50 to 45. Makes a difference, but the areas those trapped 5 were mainly using gets quickly taken over by some those other 45. The coyotes removed from your most localized area would be most favorable to enhancing turkey nesting success & young poult survival if done in April-May? Same with raccoons? [/QUOTE]
