coyotes

[Tim Finley]

To control coyotes you need to kill at least 70 % over a period of years ,only areial hunting and or poisoning will get the job done.

I have taken 47 yotes last 3 years, within 2 miles of my house, doesnt seem to have dented the population. Heard 2 big packs the other night. I am going to start snaring and trapping more. Oh yeah, this was not with a bow, I hunt them to exterminate them, quickest, best means is snares and a good long range rifle that I  built myself.

I have seen coyotes all over in the Phoenix metro area. Chased one with my patrol car at work after watching it try to go toe to toe with a stray pit bull- coyote got worked. I chased him until he got back to his den, in a grave yard in the middle of a densely populated urban area. They, like cockroaches, can live anywhere.

I watched that video that was posted earlier and then did a little surfing, came up with this video,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqVE9qfg7yI&feature=related.  Don't know the back story but this coyote was aggressive.

Here in the southwest, the coyotes are pretty much the top of the food chain. They are very amazing creatures.
