That is true, no doubt...
BUT, the dead ones do not have pups!
The ones you don't get though just end up having that many more pups. You guys are just pounding sand if you think you are changing anything by shooting every coyote you see. Someone was comparing shooting every deer to shooting every coyote. That's apples to oranges. Deer have 1-2 offspring a year in most situations. Coyotes have 5-15 depending on how much food they get. Take out one yote and you just make the other ones more healthy and more prolific producers of young pups because there is more available food to them. The whole cycle is driven by the amount of food or prey available. We have little impact on the cycle by merely shooting what we see. Even the impact we see though trapping is only very short lived.
