It is interesting to see different perspectives on coyote control. Some folks here express disdain for animals that eat their fish, even when some of these fish eaters are protected from harm by wildlife laws. On the other hand, some seem to think that controlling a pest species like coyotes that compete with hunters for deer is a different concept, even though wildlife laws in many places (like where I live) allow coyotes to be taken any time due to their pest status. While I have not targeted coyotes myself (although I have taken a few), I am seriously thinking about it due to their high population. While I would prefer to do this when the fur can be used, the glut of fur on the global market right now takes the incentive out of this (not worth the time to skin them).
