It doesnt suprise me how someone like you would know nothing about true coyote management! You must do both to be effective. I know far more about coyote trapping than someone like you! I have been trapping 100 plus coyotes a year for over 20 years. Building fawn habitat is great, but without trapping it is not going to do much good. Trapping is the BEST long-term solution to managing predators! As most serious land managers know IF you want to hurt a coyote population YOU must hit them hard and take out 80% plus of the coyote population. This can be a costly . I also use PVS-14 nightvision, lazers, and Aquilla 6 nightvision scopes. My clients get what they pay for with me! The fact is YOU are only quoting what you read and have no real experience with ADC work. Their is no endless supply of coyotes, that you cannot stop from killing your fawns. You just have to find thr right guy that can trap and pay him or swap him some hunting rights, to kill coyotes.
