If you kill one another will take its place.

every time i read that i say , BS way of thinking !!! . a live coyote is a eating coyote . a live coyote is a reproducing coyote . i also think the people that say that is ignorant ( i did not say stupid ) of how predator populations work .

by not killing coyotes you're allowing three things at least .

you're allowing that coyote to keep right on killing and feeding

you allow it a chance to reproduce .

you allow the coyote population to expand outward .

if no one killed coyotes i wonder how many thousands of coyotes would be added to the population each year . course the population at some point would crash but only after the food source had crashed

to me it's odd as hell how in places we can kill to many doe's but won't kill enough coyotes . we as hunters in ALABAMA could control the coyotes and no one will ever convince me other wise .

lol ,,, be sunday evening before i'm back in here to reply.
