Here in Alabama they say that the wild hogs have gotten so plentiful that they have begun to eat the baby deer reducing the deer population substancially.
Which will impact deer hunting.
“But the reality is that hunting coyotes isn’t going to make a dent in decreasing their population due too many coyotes out there.”
Pay a bounty and I bet you’ll see results.
The area where I live used to be loaded with Gamble’s quail, jackrabbits and cottontails. They, along with a large number of pets, are all gone now thanks to the coyotes. Envirowackos are so smart. I sure do miss listening to the quail. Oh well....
Late yesterday afternoon or early evening, I noticed a coyote eating pears which had fallen from my tree the previous few days.
I was looking through double pane windows which were not real clean plus a screen or I would have taken a picture. When I first looked, I thought for an instant that it was a deer but immediately recognized that it was a big coyote.
After looking for a few more seconds I knew something wasn’t quite right. It finally struck me that it was a dog/coyote mix. If I could have sneaked out without scaring him I would have shot him but I knew that would never happen. He was just too skittish.

Working overnight at IBM outside of Boulder, CO there are A LOT of coyotes around there...made me nervous to walk out to the car sometimes.
That’s nature.
By allowing the deer population to explode, the greenies have created a target-rich environment for their natural predators.
Now what?
Technically Coy wolves here in MA.
I live on Cape Cod. There is a deer hunting season, but it is crowded, so there are many places where it would be unsafe to hunt. There are way too many deer... that’s why we have such a Lyme disease problem.
Certainly a problem, but for deer much less of an issue than the growing population of wolves and hybrids. Wait until they get to urban areas
