Coyote hunter experts???

FLIR scope is the way to go with tripod mount lovely for hogs also. Both are fairly smart after you drop a few they will stay further out. Need a good flash suppressor, the scope can record your hits

I suggest that any of you that say the coyotes are hard on the deer population check your DNR stats.... you'll probably see that deer populations are steady or up in your state historically. It's generally a myth that coyotes are devastating to deer populations.

I agree.

They will clean up the ill or injured. But they won't have much effect on population.

We've got plenty of wolves, B bears, M lions and coyotes here. Of these, coyotes make me the least worried but they will snatch your very small dogs or cats. Seems they tend to stay away from people although this might not make the OP feel any better...

The NIMBYs are great fun- too easy!

For a case where someone witness's coyote chasing deer,you hear countless reports of dogs chasing them. The same is true for domestic livestock harassment/damage. There's no denying small pets falling prey but with the ever increasing popularity of Pit Bull Terriers and failure to confine them,I look for dogs to soon kill more pets than coyote.

I grew up around coyotes. One night a buddy and i thought we do a little coyote hunting and drove out a bit, parked the pickup and walk a ways to a slumped area where we could lay down below the skyline, but see a good line, up on the crest. Loaded up the 22 and got the tape player out and accidentally hit play. Man oh man, coyotes came running up and over the crest from all over the places. There must have been a whole flock of them in that slump with us. Nobody got hurt, but i almost died laughing. We were hunting for pelts, but didn't really know anything about it, as we found out that winter was the time to do that, and if you put a whole in the pelt it dropped the price by a bit.

That being said, in the areas where i lived, the biggest threat to live stock was dogs, then traffic.

I've never been bothered by coyotes, even though we used to have quite a few. But I or my family have often been annoyed, and occasionally attacked by a loose dog. Don't you love that incessant barking of a neighbor's dog.:devil: The coyotes are mostly gone now, but the dam**** loose dogs are still around. I'd rather shoot certain dogs.

Exactly, Moss Road. The WA Fish & Wildlife acknowledges that coyote predation on deer populations is minimal. Black tongue is the big killer around here.

Human interactions with deer populations is FAR more devastating than coyotes. Deer & coyotes have been living together and getting along just fine. A whole lot longer than any of these home grown experts would want us to believe.
