New coyote bill

[Tigerbdog]

Wow. I see all these posts of coyotes being an "unsolvable problem" and "they'll never be under control", well not with that attitude. It wasn't but a short time ago men in this country killed and trapped critters to the brink of extinction. Ask the buffalo. IF we wanted them dead bad enough it wouldn't take long, but we don't want to put forth the effort. Anything that makes it more attractive for people like Ricky to keep trapping I'm all for it.

There’s pretty good evidence out there that supports it’s nearly impossible to kill off coyote populations. Look at what they did when a bounty was put on them during the early part of the 20th century. Wolves were all but eradicated during that same bounty.

I think using what happened to Buffalo is a poor example for many reasons. Buffalo were easier to kill is large numbers, have much longer gestational periods, and typically produce fewer offspring when they give birth.
