You can say what you like.
Northern New Mexico and 47,000 acres is different than some place in PA.
Yes, we would live trap but half the time we got skunks.
The coyotes took care of some of the cats.
It was easier letting the coyotes take care of them and shoot the rest. There weren’t that many cats, anyway.
We weren’t about to take them to a clinic and bring them home for a coyote to kill.
And periodically we shot wild dogs who were killing and running calves to death.
I call BS on your lack of knowledge of life on a ranch in northern New Mexico.
