   If thedarkocean would delve into his statistics a little deeper and view it objectively he would see what type of deprivation coyotes create in relation to living near man and the herds that concern us, be it deer, sheep or cattle. More coyotes get killed by cars and parvo then by any hunters. There is still plenty of oppurtunities for the coyotes, such as when people leave dog and cat food out, or sometimes even the dogs and cats themselves. If the family pet is eaten,then citizens become aware

   Not true, quality deer management is about maintaining a healthy sustainable deer herd, within the lands carrying capacity. Bringing back cougars, bears and wolves is about as practical restoring cities and suburbia to pre-development times…its just not going to happen due to human conflict. I respectfully disagree with your statement regarding science/predators. Intensive not coincidental predator management is effective, but needs to be sustained over time.

   But you have to admit that deer management is about making deer available to humans first and all other animals second. Therefore, you will always be wasting money trying to control predators when they can just control each-other. Bring back cougars, bears and wolves and coyote population will go down naturally. The science shows that killing does not lowewr the population effectively, animals reproduce/move in too quickly.

   The objective of quality deer management is not to increase their population, in fact it is to keep the population within the carrying capacity of the environment. In a productive herd, we actually harvest large numbers of does (fawn producers), and allow young bucks to survive. This results in a more natural herd sex ratio and age structure, and a healthier overall deer herd.

   Man can never control nature no matter how much we try. Every animal is there for a specific reason. Humans weaken the herd, predators strengthen it.

    You have to admit that your objective is to increase the deer population which is contrary to the forces of nature. Nature has it’s own balance that is impossible to fight. You could kill 75% of the coyote population and it isn’t going to have an effect on deer because that strategy does not work. Once you clear a specific area, that area is quickly replenished by other coytoes. Killing is not an effective control of population.

    The few wolves and bear that have ventured into Illinois didn’t make it. It’s not their habitat. Forgiving that, are you implying that wolves and grizzlies eat coyotes and that would control them? Probably not the case. Wolves will chase yotes off, and perhaps wolves and bears could suppress the coyotes food supply. But the point here is to encourage deer populations, not just trade one predator for another. Go back to watching Whale Wars and crying.

    Coyotes are useful and destructive. On managed properties, they show no negative impacts to any herd. On under managed property like most in the US they uncontrollably multiply and devastate the herds. For those of us East of the Mississippi this is aggravating because coyotes aren’t native to our soil they moved in 100 years ago and stretch all the way to Maine. Manage your timber and everything in it, domestic growth has destroyed natural management.

    There are too many coyotes because you killed off the wolves and grizzlies. Let nature create a balance.

    Coyotes kill cats and dogs. They provide more harm than anything else. I have been an avid hunter since i was 8 and have shot many coyotes. I have recently been doing a paper and found out that hunters could safely kill 75% of the coyotes world population and they still wouldn’t be endangered.

    So, go buy your small game tag and get some yotes!

    Coyotes eat cats and dogs. They are more of a nuisance than anything else. I have always been an avid hunter and am doing a paper on coyotes now and i recently found out that you can safely kill off 75% of the worlds population of coyotes and it wont hurt their population at all, they reproduce so quickly.

    So I say, SHOOT EM’ ALL!

    2/2 On well managed property you never allow too many deer it adversely impacts the environment. Coyote #s can get out of hand, and adversely impact the ecosystem, as can deer. In these instances, coyote numbers need to be decreased, especially where deer are being properly managed. Dr. Hellickson? PhD, one of the leading Whitetail deer researchers in the world. Please realize, it is difficult to do a complete job in a short TV segment. I do appreciate your taking the time to relay your thoughts

    Part 1 of 2
    In this case we all are correct. You point out we need coyotes, true. You state we have too many deer, true again – generally speaking. If you were more familiar with Building Whitetail Paradise, you would understand that we practice and teach a modified form of Quality Deer Management. One aspect includes intensive herd management, advocating reducing the fawn producing segment, specifically does (females), and allowing non-fawn producers to mature.

    The fur buyer sends carcasses to a rendering plant where they are recycled into useful products.

    what do you do with them after you kill them? i know that some counties post bounties and some fur traders will buy the skins but what do you do with the rest of it?

    Pennsylvania hunters are ready,willing,and able to kill every coyote we see in the woods.
    It’s a fact that coyotes with insurance company named tags in their ears have been found in this state. I will shoot every one I see.
