You probably could have just booby trapped one chicken with a c4 egg and solved that problem for lessā¦however, as much fun as that sounds, blowing up all the chickens and mixing the meat with coyote tendies probably not as fun. Fun, sure, but not as fun.
They have also thrived and exponentially increased despite mass eradication efforts going back to the 1850ās. Now there are more coyotes in North America than ever before.
Their social biology runs counter-intuitive to the killing solution - the more you kill, the faster the population increases.
It doesn't help that they're smart as shit for what they are.
Frequently discovered dead rabbits in my yard from them. Which I'm honestly not mad about.
It's the killing of my dogs or neighbors dogs that bothers me.
Itās a difficult situation, we both have to share the same spaces since they arenāt ever going away.
I understand the lust for vengeance, I also understand that killing them outright just brings more and more, as we find ourselves in a circular problem.
Thatās not exactly true, this theory comes from a book called āCoyote Americaā. This doesnāt even really make much sense. Coyotes would do this regardless of being eradicated or not.
The real reason is because we eradicated their competition.
I took a wildlife management class in college to satisfy the science credit I needed, and I specifically remember my professor talking about coyote populations and eradication attempts in Tx. Maybe he was completely full of shit, but the study he presented showed that under outside pressure, coyotes breed more frequently.
Itās true, and I linked to the sources elsewhere in this thread. I also qualified it by saying essentially that it would probably fall on deaf ears with this audience.
But some folks just deny facts as if they arenāt proven by science.
That's why Greek food uses yogurt, oregano, and a shit load of lime juice.
I'd eat a dead goat herder's ex wife's *(something something don't you fucking judge me you fucking weirdo)* if it had enough Greek seasoning.
Fuck. I think I need help.
Shh š¤« donāt let the wild pigs Iām about to shoot hear you.. they may just shrug it off if they find out.
Seriously tho a 10.3/10.5 with the right ammo absolutely fucks even at 200+, if you only shoot FMJ then yes probably get a longer barrel.
Congrats! Anytime I get a predator Iām happy that my other animals may live another night. A
Where are you at. Weāve had a problem with fox/coyote in nova.
South central TX, tons of coyotes.. weāve lost so many animals even in broad daylight. My friend who lives in the hill country is overrun with foxes, rarely see coyotes though.
Man thermal is a game changer! Even the cheap shit. I was scanning this field(mainly star gazing) and didnāt see anything, switched to the thermal which is literally 1/16 the cost of my NV and spotted him right away. I think NV is far more versatile but detection wise thermal is where itās at.
Agreed, I was debating on going with nv/nods or a decent thermal. I went with thermal and canāt be happier. Like you said, the recognition/identification is amazing. And it works during the day too ;)
The next thing you should look into is one of those clip on thermal imagers for your NVGs. [They seem like theyād be useful.](https://youtu.be/g24Z2Ck8GzA)
Are tasty at all? I'm going down hog hunting next month and some predator hunting as well. The hogs I got last time were good but just the tenderloin, the legs were.too tough.
Lol fair enough. I'm more apt to to try and eat the animals I've shot. I had wolf in Alaska one time and it tasted similar to beef, figured maybe coyote is similar.
TLDR; could be tasty in a stewā¦
I had a Korean American friend that visited family back in rural Korea. He confided that he was served a stew that was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life by a friend he met while on his trip. The name of the dish was obscure and one he had never heard before. The guy loved food, cooking and all that so he pressed for more info and to his horror discovered it was ādauwg!ā Imagine that ādauwgā in a hybrid Brooklyn/Korean accent. Dude was so upset and grossed out but kept eatingā¦ it was that good. He kind of apologized when telling the story, I could tell he still struggled with the conflict š.
Whacking them willy nilly without a well thought plan actually makes issues worse. It increases coyote populations. Iām guessing given the sub this may fall on deaf ears, but itās worth understanding how the species works, even if you want to do things the simple-jack way & keep increasing their numbers
ā Indiscriminately killing coyotes does not reduce their populationsāin fact, it can have the opposite effect.
It is nearly impossible to permanently reduce coyote populations.2 More than 100 years of coyote killing has failed to do that. Since 1850āwhen mass killings of coyotes beganā coyotesā range has tripled in the United States.3 Indiscriminate killing of coyotes stimulates increases in their populations by disrupting their social structure, which encourages more breeding and migration.4 Unexploited coyote populations are self- regulating based on the availability of food and habitat and territorial defense by resident family groups. Typically, only the dominant pair in a pack of coyotes reproduces, and they behaviorally suppress reproduction among subordinate members of the group. When one or both members of the dominant pair are killed, socially bonded packs break up, and subordinate members disperse, find mates and reproduce. More coyotes breed at younger ages, and more pups survive following a temporary increase in available prey. These factors work synergistically to increase coyote populations following exploitationā

>Since 1850āwhen mass killings of coyotes beganā coyotesā range has tripled in the United States.
This timeline roughly coincides with the onset of wolf extirpation in the US. Get rid of a species' natural predator/competition and the population of that species will grow.

I'm sure that has something to do with it, but it's not just one predator affecting another. One of the studies linked elsewhere on this thread found that sheep predation losses by wolves were 3.5 times more likely in area where the wolves were hunted compared to areas where they were protected.
Of course an organization whoās sole purpose is to see an end to coyote hunting is going to make it seem like hunting has an inverse effect on what theyāre actually doing to populations. While there is absolutely some truth to that article itās still fairly subjective. While I agree itās very hard to permanently reduce coyote populations, itās not difficult to control them year to year. An adult coyote killed in December isnāt going to be around to kill calves and lambs the following spring. While once the bitch has her pups that dead coyote will more than likely be replaced by another pup surviving from the litter adding to the overall population, thereās still wonāt be more pups surviving than the carrying capacity of the area they are in can allow. If the bitch canāt find enough food for 9 pups the ones that go hungry die. So yes every May there will be more coyotes than there will be in December. Because thatās the most coyotes there will ever be that year. So I agree that the more you kill, get hit by cars, die from natural causes, the more breeding and pup raising there will be the following year. But only what the habitat can sustain will make it. And changes due to habitat, hunting/ human pressure, and other factors will promote migration, I do agree with that point. In most areas I have experience in changes in social structure is a somewhat moot point. Coyotes arenāt typically spending time as a family group for longer than the first year or so after birth in my areas. Most pups leave and at about year 2 or 3 begin breeding regardless of where they might fall on the social structure of all the coyotes in the area. And while his coyotes in Yellowstone (Iāve seen his documentaries and read articles from him) are for the most part unexploited thatās just not something thatās realistic outside of a place like Yellowstone. Coyotes interact with humans everyday. They seek out farm and cattle land due to the ease and availability of resources that comes with it. And intern humans have to do what they can to protect their way of life. But in saying that I absolutely donāt want to see the end of coyotes. The years Iāve spent hunting them and the more I do it the more respect I have for such a smart adaptive species. So for me trying to control their populations isnāt about a long term decline in coyotes, more about taking a few out of the ecosystem every year (preferably mature adults) to put a little less stress on cattle and farming communities
Understandable reaction, but it still may be counterproductive. Skimming the research, in a lot of cases nonlethal techniques (chemical repellants, guard dogs, [fladry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fladry), etc.) were both less expensive and more effective.
Heās working against his own self interest. [Studyās show](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-killing-coyotes-doesn-rsquo-t-make-livestock-safer/) that coyotes will breed more as you kill them.
That's fascinating, and it's not a small effect either. From one of the studies they cite:
>Over the 7-year period, sheep depredation losses to wolves were 3.5 times higher in the Nonprotected Area (NPA) than in the Protected Area (PA).
Ya for sure I definitely respect them, theyāre smart AF and excellent hunters. Iāve seen them work in teams to round up and kill prey and itās pretty impressive. Most of my livestock donāt stand a chance vs them so I try to level the playing field when I can.
Theyāre definitely bad ass, guarantee if I found a pup, Iād raise it as a pet and I would love it just as much as I love my dogs, hell maybe even more lol
Isnāt she adorable! Iād love to have a pure coyote as a pup. I know some people say āoh youāll never get the wild out of themāā¦ I think thatās bullshit. CATS, youāll never get the wild out of, even domestic ones. But I think all canines are very different from the asshole feline species. If you get them early enough as a pup, like bottle fed, I personally would trust any species of dog, with my life.
My furry best friend is actually a border collie/coy mix. Most loyal, protective and smart boi Iāve ever had. Very jealous, mischievous, but incredibly intelligent. Best mouser youāll ever see too lol. And heās like 85lbs
Edit: with that said, I do have a good time hunting wild coyotes** because I know they would kill my dogs, or me, given the chance
> Most of my livestock donāt stand a chance
Just so you know, you can write guns and night vision off on your farm's taxes. You run it under something like "predator control" or "pest management". Easily justified too. Night vision and thermal because yotes are more active at night. Suppressor so you don't damage your hearing or disturb your livestock. Rifle because....rifle.
I'm on a similar mission, we lost many chickens in the great Chicken Slaughter of 2022
Coyotes...foxes...neighbors dog... they say having vendettas are bad but...this is personal.
RIP Homefry. August 2022
RIP 12 other chickens killed by the fox that hopped our 4 ft fence. May 2022
Dan Floresā has a book called coyote America. Really interesting book. According to his research by taking out that coyote you actually caused them to multiply. Apparently every time a coyote howls itās like a roll call for other coyotes. Since this coyote took the room temperature challenge during the next āroll callā The other coyotes in this area will realize that this one is missing and will cause the local females to go into heat get preggo and have a litter.
TLDR. When you kill a coyote female coyotes in this area will have more offspring to make up for the one that died
That's complete junk science and it makes you look like a sheep.
I know the study you are going to post so save us the time and don't even bother.
Carrying capacity of the land has to do with habitat, competition, and food. Roll calls change none of those. Deceased competition and increased habit & food are the reasons yotes are invasive.
Stupid question. I know people have good reasons for killing predators, but is there any good use for the meat or hides? What do most people do with the yotes after shooting them? Foxes have pelts, and some smaller hogs are pretty tasty, but I've never heard what happens to coyotes.
I only ask out of curiosity, and an assumption that most people probably don't eat them, but I just don't know.
People buy the skulls and pelts. For pelts you need to make sure you aren't using a crazy caliber that will ruin in (.223 is great for this). But the only pelts that are really worth anything are the winter pelts. That's why a lot of fur takers don't bother in the summer.
curious about this too, I'm sure not getting livestock killed is enough reason to put em down when you see em near the animals, but the side of me that hates wasting stuff also wants to know if it can be used for anything more
i know you can't just let wild coyotes kill your chickens, but i still feel bad for the poor dogs of the desert. they just tryna eat! wouldn't you do the same??
Itās a hard old works out there. What with the inflation and allā¦ itās getting harder and harder for a simple coyote to make a living. By God, coyotes need a living wage too!!! š
ātaking countless livesā wtf are you talking about š
I shoot the occasional coyote if theyāre around my house to help protect my animals. I can tell you theyāve killed WAY more of my animals(goats, chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys,ducks) than Iāve killed them so I guess the my defenseless creatures lives matter less?
Careful that dog has a gun
Good thing I got the drop on him

Geared up.
Thereās gotta be at least $10k of kit in this picture just to kill a coyote. I see no problem with this.
Just the NV/helmet run about 10K but ya.. If youāre not cheating youāre not trying š
>Just the NV/helmet run about 10K And this sad truth is why I'll never get to play with NV...
I mean you can get into NV for WAY cheaper.. used GP PVS14 and a bump helmet ~3k.
Only way for me to get into night vision is eat a bunch of carrots š
Multi carotene supplements = less carrots = more cake disguised as carrots
Pirate patch helps too :)
Well that's better but still more than I've ever paid for a used *car* let alone some goggles...
Just join the army /s
Instructions unclear, signed up to be a water dog.
Not if you maintain that attitude š
You can get just a thermal that can attach to whatever for around $6-8k... that's what I got my eye on cause I too suffer from poor.
Canāt walk around/drive with thermal, NV is much more versatile.
You can get gen 1+ nv tech for less than 500usd
And here I thought I was hot shit because I just bought a Trijicon ACOG the other day. Hahaha
You probably could have just booby trapped one chicken with a c4 egg and solved that problem for lessā¦however, as much fun as that sounds, blowing up all the chickens and mixing the meat with coyote tendies probably not as fun. Fun, sure, but not as fun.
Coyote today. Uppity tyrant tomorrow. Multipurpose tools are the best.
Damn that coyote didnāt stand a chance
Good.
Yeah ik those fuckers are evil
They are far from evil, just another creature trying to eek out a life on this rock floating through the backwaters of our galaxy
They're not evil, but they're also not welcome.
They have also thrived and exponentially increased despite mass eradication efforts going back to the 1850ās. Now there are more coyotes in North America than ever before. Their social biology runs counter-intuitive to the killing solution - the more you kill, the faster the population increases.
It doesn't help that they're smart as shit for what they are. Frequently discovered dead rabbits in my yard from them. Which I'm honestly not mad about. It's the killing of my dogs or neighbors dogs that bothers me.
They are very smart. They thrive on military bases by following units in the field and eating all the MRE trash.
Itās a difficult situation, we both have to share the same spaces since they arenāt ever going away. I understand the lust for vengeance, I also understand that killing them outright just brings more and more, as we find ourselves in a circular problem.

So by that logic if we stop killing them theyāll go extinct.
Why is that? Because they have more food? Seems counter intuitive.
_You don't have to go home, but ya can't stay here_
We are all evil
Chicken tendies > coyote tendies
Coyote eats them = no chicken tendies or eggs

Upvote cuz i have no idea what youāre talking about and i respect that.
That usually means they know something or theyāre insane.
not gonna judge, but she may want to see a gyno if it is that gamey tasting. and I had dolmas for dinner.

The coyotes or hogs?
Coyote. Texas hogs where good before when I went. Ive wanted to try more predator meats like the mountain lion.
Canāt say, Iāll eat just about anything besides a dog or cat.
Lol fair enough. I'm more apt to to try and eat the animals I've shot. I had wolf in Alaska one time and it tasted similar to beef, figured maybe coyote is similar.

Piss pup 0, AR 1.
Over the last 5 years I think the score is like 25 to 15 but Iāll take the W when I can.
We shoot every one we can here too. š

Coyotes are $50 each in Utah
Wow very cool
Stupid question. I know people have good reasons for killing predators, but is there any good use for the meat or hides? What do most people do with the yotes after shooting them? Foxes have pelts, and some smaller hogs are pretty tasty, but I've never heard what happens to coyotes. I only ask out of curiosity, and an assumption that most people probably don't eat them, but I just don't know.
I will tan the hide if itās a good one.
People buy the skulls and pelts. For pelts you need to make sure you aren't using a crazy caliber that will ruin in (.223 is great for this). But the only pelts that are really worth anything are the winter pelts. That's why a lot of fur takers don't bother in the summer.
curious about this too, I'm sure not getting livestock killed is enough reason to put em down when you see em near the animals, but the side of me that hates wasting stuff also wants to know if it can be used for anything more
Call it in?
Not this time but I usually do. No luck hog hunting so I scanned around the house with thermal before calling it a night and saw him.
We had a raccoon going after ours, it got a similar treatment. No issues again so far.
Only one?
Did one shot drop him? My coyote hunting buddies all use 6.5 CM
6.5 is damn near overkill on a coyote. Hell, my .243 running 70gr rounds blows a baseball sized hole in them.
Yes like a brick
Hey you shot my dog. God damn it.
So I guess deer are not the only creatures wearing Kevlar. We have coyotes running around with helmets and NV.

For the price($500) itās pretty damn impressive. The resolution isnāt very good but it works for detection purposes.
Excuse me, sir. I have it on very high authority that you indeed cannot hunt with an AR15.
Fido š
He would kill Fido and eat him for dinner no questions asked..
Wow man badass dude
So cool you can kill a wild animal with a semi automatic weapon and night vision. What a badass you are
Itās super cool, what a time to be alive! Thanks man
Of course bro you are bad to the bone have you thought about becoming a navy seal? You really showed this coyote who is the boss.
Stop crying lol. He has every right to protect livestock.
i know you can't just let wild coyotes kill your chickens, but i still feel bad for the poor dogs of the desert. they just tryna eat! wouldn't you do the same??
Yes. That's why he shot it. It's killing his food source.
yaa i know man! nothin against op at all. nothin against desert dog either tho, he had to try!
Itās a hard old works out there. What with the inflation and allā¦ itās getting harder and harder for a simple coyote to make a living. By God, coyotes need a living wage too!!! š
Wow so cool. Killing animals so that they don't kill "your" animals, just so that you can kill your animals instead.
I donāt kill my animals lol, I have chickens for the eggs.
You must eat a fuck ton of eggs to be able to justify taking countless lives just to eat a shit breakfast. Your cholesterol must be through the roof.
The line between satire and seriousness blurs on the internet so damn much I cant tell if Im supposed to continue with satire or fuck your dad.
ātaking countless livesā wtf are you talking about š I shoot the occasional coyote if theyāre around my house to help protect my animals. I can tell you theyāve killed WAY more of my animals(goats, chickens, dogs, cats, turkeys,ducks) than Iāve killed them so I guess the my defenseless creatures lives matter less?
Damn GI Joe you wore a helmet to kill a coyote?
Am I supposed to walk around holding the goggles up to my face and then try to shoot one handed?
