The owner of the dairy farm next door is not only allowing us to hunt his land free for deer, turkey, ect, but is paying for coyote heads. I have four duck blinds out there that I am using to nab coyotes right now.
I hate them suckers. They are killing his cattle. They will stalk family pets and its only a matter of time before they get brave enough to go snatch a kid. Shoot on site.
They should be paying bounties on coyotes - $20 buck a pelt or more...
My husband walks the puppy at night. Last week, he came back rather quickly, reporting that 3-4 bands of coyotes had taken up position around our property and across the road on the other side of the river. They were yipping and howling, setting the neighborhood dogs to doing the same. The pup was oblivious. DH said he will be carrying from now on during the night-time walks. There are entirely too many of them.
I was at the home of local lib a few years back when a hunter came by to ask if he could take his dogs on her property to get coyotes. This is considered by most out here to be a favor, but the lib was incensed. Funny thing is, she has a chihuahua, aka: snack.
Coyotes used to be controlled by a simple use of Compound 1080.
Then someone’s dog got killed and the US Government banned it.
The coyote population then exploded.
