“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.
Yep Mr. GG2 used to be a bounty hunter out West. He used to collect $25 per song dog. It can really add up. Farmers and ranchers would let him hunt deer, ducks, antelope etc as long as he culled the coyotes too.
Here in California wild pheasant hunting has become
almost a thing of the past at least in rice country.
Blame modern farming techniques or lack of habitat but
I see the proliferation of the coyote population as the
main problem. Rice farmers don’t mind coyotes. They
snack on the mice and rats that eat rice sprouts. Combine
that with the fact that pheasants were an introduced
species with no large human support group and we find
only planted birds in silly assed clubs these days.
