While I admire the coyote’s adaptability and survival I have no problem with predator control.
In many parts of this country, coyotes (and deer) have reached a point where they have no natural enemies except man and must be controlled. While many or all animal activist do not see it, firearms are the most human way to contol them.
In my part of the country coyotes are shot by some of us on sight.
My son shot one near his chicken coop a week ago. we keep rifle loaded and ready just for that purpose.
