Coyotes

[sofa.king]

I can't believe it watching news and people in regina beach are scared because they have seen coyotes. These morons better move back to the city because they have moved out where big scary wild animals live. I have even heard of people wanting to eradicate the moose they may be attacked by a moose. ****in idiots.

Another thought would you rather have a coyote in your back yard or a meth head.

My 17 year old would be happy to shoot the moose..... then the coyotes eating the moose.....problem solved.....

Averaged 135 bucks a piece last year. I'll come get them for those who are fearful! lol

To many of both in this area.
Open season..would be ok with me.

funny every one i know at home shoots coyotes yet you always see them. Moose we have and yes you see them just about every day.
Geese bring on open season all year. Its getting nuts.

and those same city fellows would be the first ones to say a rancher can't shoot a wolf or grizzly when they're killing their cattle

It's pretty scarey when you hear tham howling in the creek. i don't think I'd want to lose track of a dog, cat, or little kid when they are so close.

They care not scared at all.walk through the yard at a slow pace.
Even lay down on the driveway.
Lead is the only cure.

One time I had one hanging out close to my yard by a creek. He was to close for my comfort so I was going to shoot it. When I had him in my crosshairs I noticed he was after the moles so I let him live. When he finished cleaning them up he moved on.
This gave me a little more respect for them.

It's been explained to me that once the boss dogs are eliminated the population explodes....seems true around here....

Saskatchewan, sure could use a cull again. No need to "manage" the liters of kittens here anymore. The coyotes pick them off, one at a time, through out the year.

$135/hide is awesome, nice going. Do you stretch them flat, or on a scissors?

I dunno about that. I do know that you can not ever over trap or snare them, unless everyone tried. One year to the next, new ones move in, and with prey plentiful in the void, they have BIG litters. I go after them hard, because of the sheep, and it seems to help. Not bad for the bottom line when you get 135 bucks like last year either. A valuable renewable resource.

Do they have dens? Where would you look to find them? Not a lot of bush around here, yet they seem to be plentiful.

They are almost everywhere, but they bed in cover.Could be tall grass, cattails, willows, etc. They patrol mainly at night, and they cover a lot of ground. Since getting into snaring, I have learned a lot about their habits, and it is sometimes eye opening...
