Around my area,the coyote population has exploded the last 3 years,deer heards have greatly diminished, I remember when we first started hunting coyotes it would be just like hitting the lottery just to get a response,nowadays you can go out on any ridge,hit the locator call or howler,an have 3 to 4 different groups sound off.The only way to controll coyote is to trap them or shoot them,they have tryed poisoning in Texas they would poision a kill the coyotes were feeding on,set trail cams on it,coyotes would come back to kill but would not touch it,to smart.We hunt/ trap areas an take coyotes but a few days later there is another group moved in.I am NOT saying that putting a bounty on them is the answer,but when you start going deer hunting an see more coyote sign than deer that's a problem.
