is a market in furs of coyotes,always has been,but fur isnt worth much during summer, last i checked they were selling for $7.looks like were pretty evenly divided here as to which folks say they will and those who think they wont,funny though even the folks who say to shoot every one they can say they are seeing more coyotes all the time.wonder why that is?LOL ive been around them for many many years,rarely does a day pass i dont see at least one.even back when i was a small kid,and we would actually have "wolf hunts" folks argued about this same thing.strange though,big sheep ranchers would hire full time trappers/hunters that did NOTHING else but trap,poison, and shoot coyotes ,cattle folks never bothered.wonder why that was?the ranch hands were out just as much,saw as many or more coyotes ,and some would shoot them, but unless one was coming up to the house no one bothered much with them.in fact most old ranchers considered them sort of helpful in keeping the dead carcasses cleaned up.kind of like buzzards.a lot of this goes back to the old countries,where the settlers came from,over there wolfs were a problem and a lot of superstition grew up around them that was transfered to coyotes here.like i say I shoot them,carry a gun every day,in truck or tractor,but you and i and every other hunter in the country are not going to kill them out.not if everyone of us hunted every day.cyanide guns couldnt do it(ive used those ) strictnine in a carcass wont do it( done that also) trapping wont do it (have traps out now, do every day) rifles wont do it thats been tried also for years,dogs wont get them all (i even done that).like i say ,and every game department says also, theres just as many now ,in more places than ever.they've simply adapted to live off humans.and to them were just another source of food.they will eat your dogs food,your hogs slop,dig up your vegetables,eat your boots right off the porch,dine on your trash,eat your pets,they love cattle cubes,and they can survive in the desert and downtown new york city.your not killing them out,shoot all you want,you wont see less,and in fact you will see more because the replacements will be younger less cautious ones.
