Exactly. And like above says - they have such a huge range- takes nothing to fill back in. It’s not like a deer that might make a square mile “home”. These suckers travel!!!
Where my concern comes in..... one farm I have is having major fawning issues...... well- logic there: kill the coyotes around May. That’s pretty hard and you can’t snare and wouldn’t want to anyways. Trying to think of how to wipe them out before and during fawning season. At the same time- they really are going to need to be killed all fall and winter long as well. Kill as many as possible anytime available.
Doing some reading- back in the day- they used compound 1080 to blast cyanide into the coyotes mouth. Crazy!!!!!! Obviously that’s long gone and probably for good reason!
On the “making sure it’s legal side” of things- my head has gone from the obvious of trapping to shooting to off the wall things like this.... finding a road kill deer & getting tag to get to my farm. Let it sit out in field by house with cell cam on it- thermal scopes out the house window & try to have few guys blow em away. Probably - as usual - just a drop in the bucket and they will get educated to that.
Of course we have the coyote fishing example folks have heard of but pretty insane and likely illegal.
I’d love to get a mini gun out of a helicopter for a few weeks but I suspect that may be frowned upon by government
. Fun to dream! Or heck- go watch those tannerite videos blowing pigs up on corn pile. Substitute a deer carcus??!?? Ok- my imagination running long enough for today
