@oscar12690 although we do not eat coyotes, we do fetch about $20 per pelt. Admittedly so, that is not our primary motivation. Coyote populations are out of control in our area and its affecting a lot of the other game. Deer and rabbit numbers are dangerously low as a result. Rabbits! The expression should be "multiply like coyotes!" Turkeys are impacted but still healthy.

Most canines like these coyotes are territorial, even if you kill them another coyote will eventually take over the left over territory. I feel like much of the justifications, generalizations and assessments that hunters use to defend this 'practice' lacks research but that is just my opinion... perhaps you could prove me wrong, or even enlighten me about why there are no other alternatives to hunting, in order to protect your livestock.

@DownWindOutdoors In away this in some form or level is a part of the culture. I'm not going to ask you to defend it on that level but at the base of it all, it seems more as something done in sport, rather than for the safety of your livestock. These types of canines, have been introduced in other countries as natural measures against what oscar had listed as other farming pests, so I am sorry if I fail to see why it is exactly necessary to kill them.

There are surely more cost and time effective ways of preventing your livestock from being in danger to these predators. It is how you readily accept that doing things this way justifies what you are doing. But you must have your reasons too, and they don't necessarily have to be exactly logical or the best way but it is the whole 'sport' approach to what your doing which makes it seem more cruel than it might be.

I apologize if this happens to come off rude, but I think that you are missing the point in oscar's post. It is the your approach to the problem of losing livestock that I am sure the poster is ultimately disagreeing with here, rather than the act of killing/protecting, however it should be termed.

@bigjohntightlips I can answer that one lol....I thought the same thing and had those crosshairs buried between the eyes on that "first attempt" when I found out the safety was never taken off. The dog had been standing there for so long by the time I was squeezing off the shot for real, I just lined it up for the double lung for a quicker shot. 100 things go through your head in those two seconds and you work weeks months or years for the opportunity, I'd like to redo them all!

@oscar12690 the damage that hits home the hardest is the loss of livestock. This is the third summer in a row with a least two confirmed calf kills. Let alone unconfirmed/missing. So, if we can help to control this problem and experience the most thrilling exciting adrenaline pumping hunt in the sport, it's obvious why it has become so popular in recent years

@DownWindOutdoors well than if you have cattle is logic that coyotes are problem, specially with calves. But is no good driving coyote hunting to danger of extinction, you can raise coyotes like domestic dogs and breed coydogs too.

@oscar12690 coyotes are overpopulated. There is no such thing as driving them to extinction because if threatened they will instinctly have more pups in their litter and have multiple rounds of breeding. You can really only hope to contain their numbers.
