No offense meant Troy but I just don’t see how what you’re saying has any bearing on the point I’m trying to make. I’m talking about site specific management of predators going into the future……not a broad landscape look at coyote expansion in the past. I’m not trying to show an actual graph of coyote and deer but rather one that illustrates a basic principle. While coyotes have definitely spread over the last few decades filling up the landscape….their site specific populations can never grow any larger than the number of prey present to support the population. Look at the graph again. There can be no more lynx than there is snow shoe hare to support them. Same with us and yotes. There can be no more coyotes in a site specific area than there is rabbits, mice, etc… to support the populations. Predator and prey populations are directly tied to each other
