Been years I’ve noticed we needed to hunt some coyotes. THIS YEAR..... I’ve never in my life seen this many on camera mainly. Even from stand & seeing eaten deer- im certain im over run on any farm I hunt or been on. I’ve literally seen ZERO fox in 2 years now. Do see tons of bobcats on other hand which seem to coexist quite well with them. Is anyone else noticing an explosion on coyote numbers????
I’ve talked about snaring & had very little success. Obviously a talented trapper is needed. Guns going to do little to dent population. Seen more fawnless does than ever as well.
Mild winters and low fur prices with few trappers to blame? Plenty of food for coyotes with abundance of coons, possum, rabbit, etc etc. maybe a cycle? Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? Snaring and trapping most effective but any other ideas for dealing with them that would really pummel the population and stay on keeping it down?
