We have coyotes around, the bigger eastern kind. They have never caused any issues with any of my livestock or pets. As such, I enjoy seeing them and hearing them. Plenty of wild critters around for them to hunt.
Question, doesn't the government pay ranchers for predator losses? I know they do for wolves. Maybe not for coyotes? Always seemed a bit wrong that ranchers out West are grazing herds on public lands which they don't own, and then decide they need to kill all predators on said public lands. I know it is an out West thing as farms out East own their own land, and they fence their cows in and can protect them better that way.
