Didn’t take me long. They also use the bowhunter survey to look at population trends. Looking at the 2022 survey results most of the state the coyote population is trending downwards or staying stable only a couple regions that have a slight upward trend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m going to assume they have some sort of formula with fur sales and other methods. I can tell you there was a huge influx in coyotes at the fur truck and fur auction that year. I’ll see if I can find how they do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Goes to show how the popularity had boomed. So more coyotes being taken now more than ever yet, “EPIDEMIC” levels. So what’s that saying? Is the litter size increase studies true where they just fill back in?

Less than 5 years ago we had the best coyote fur prices we’ve had in years and $40 average on Iowa yotes. Lots of people trapping those couple of years not to mention the uptick in predator competitions. I feel like hunting and trapping coyotes has been more popular in the last 5 years than ever...

Yep I have mine delay send too. Less spooked deer from them when I changed to that setting as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weird that took 5 seconds to find a .457 semi auto air gun. Why shouldn’t they be allowed if I think no one will use them? That’s a simple answer. It’s a stepping stone in the legislation to allow centerfire rifles into the late muzzleloader season. You might think that’s impossible but it’s a...

Not all large game air guns are single shot. A quick search you can find semi auto and fully auto available to ship to your door. Why shouldn’t air rifles be allowed? You kind of answer that question yourself. There’s already weapons in the gun seasons that are more effective at killing deer...

Hard no from me as well. Sounds like Missouri is a good place to use them though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotta be a huge neighborhood effort if you think you will slow them down that much to notice a difference. IMO.. I’ll try to find the studies for the Midwest but check out these home range sizes for coyotes in the SE United States. States with more cover to hold coyotes. Now say for some...

I kind of discussed this in my post above. You literally have to hunt them constantly to make a difference. Year round, probably quite literally weekly. Yeah litter size increases when competition dwindles. But that’s future coyotes on the landscape as you said. I won’t argue that. The dynamics...

Not at all, you still aren’t messing with 50% of the genetics when looking at the does. You’ll also still have younger bucks with the better genetics breed before dying in area A. The difference you’ll see is the age class. Thus giving the illusion of more bigger bucks in area B over area A. But...

Exactly and exactly why you can never change the genetics just by hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I went to school for wildlife biology. Got my bachelor’s degree and these conversations always make me laugh a little. There’s a few differences between the trees and animals. The main one that makes the biggest difference is that trees are stationary, animals can travel. When trying to...

If you’re complaining about a $900 shoulder mount don’t shoot or trap a white coyote. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] In all seriousness, I’ve seen the shipping costs on the forms for shoulder mounts these days and they are insane. Should be more upset with the shipping...

So there is actually a thing about the more coyote s you kill the more coyotes there will be. As coyote competition dwindles the average litter size in coyotes increases thus the “more coyotes after killing coyotes” however coyotes are very territorial and you have transient coyotes and the...

Current numbers off the place near home: 8 coyotes 4 raccoons 3 skunks 3 otters 2 beavers 1 opossum 1 badger Did a small run on a farm last week and we caught around 20 raccoons, 1 coyote, 3 opossum, 1 skunk, and a bobcat. Couldn’t ask for better weather to trap this year. Sent from my...
