Yotehuntr and all,
No one was trying to get rid of anyone. I didn't ask anyone to go away or tell them that it was wrong to kill a coyote at any time of the year. That wasn't the original debate. The next thing that was blown out of porportion by somebody that had their "feelings" hurt was that I said Yotehuntr "didn't have a clue". If you re-read that post, you'll see that I was refering to whether or not that particular coyote was indeed the culprit, not anything personally about Yotehunter.
Glen Guess, I spell bad too, but it is usually readable, thats the best I can do.
As for the ADC stuff, I don't claim to be the "go to" expert. There are alot of guys that have done alot more of it than me and I try hard to learn from those guys, I'm just a student at this level. But as far as your last comments Yotehuntr, where I'm at, the ranchers don't put up with "half a$$ service". I have been gone for several days, camped in the country that I needed to hunt. I stay right out with the coyotes to get locations from howls in the night, so I can be on them in the morning at daylight. I just take a small tent and a sleeping bag. If I'm lucky I get to go to town and shower in the middle of the day when it's too hot to hunt. In the last three days I took five old coyotes and two dens for a total of 23 coyotes. Don't begin to tell me about how I do my job. I don't know what you do for a living, but I'm sure not going to tell you that you are pi$$ poor at it, unless I know you and know that for a fact. That would be like me telling Byron South that he is a terrible welder, because all welders are dumb a$$es. I said I was done with this post, but felt the need to defend myself with some of these posts. But put your hurt "feelings" away. Nobody was trying to get rid of you.
As far as the original subject, think of it this way:
Say you live in the suburbs of a big city, and thats where all the nice people live.
All of the criminals live in a small area in the center of the city.
One of the criminals starts coming into your neighborhood and stealing and murdering so you call the police and report it. So they start investigating to see who is coming into your neighborhood and stealing and murdering.
Meanwhile you tell one of your buddies about your problems with the criminal in your neiborhood, so he says "heck, I think I can help you out", and he drives down through the center of the city, and he sees a guy he's sure is a criminal, so he plugs him.
Then he comes back and tells you "Your problems are solved, I went and shot a criminal".
Meanwhile, the police so some investigating, and determine that the criminal coming into your neighborhood is named John Smith, and they catch him. The guy that your buddy shot was named Bill Smith. Maybe he was still a criminal, and maybe he needed shot, but it wasn't the guy that was affecting you personally.
