>> Most issues between humans and wildlife can be mitigated with a little foresight.
Yeah, most.
And for the rest — for example, coyotes, which are worse than worseless vermin in ranch country — there’s Winchester .243.
A coyote by definition is a problem, town or country.
They eat the pheasants, grouse, and partridge that I want around my place. They’ve eaten three or four of the feral cats I’ve caught and neutered and have turned back loose to keep down the mice. They eat fawns and they’ll drag down does in the snow-—bucks too if the snow is deep enough-—and eat out the rear end of the deer and leave the carcass to rot.
Does the coyote live in nature and deserve its place? Absolutely.
SO DO I.
