DocCoyote, that's the exact reason that coyote hunting in Nevada on public land is not close to what it use to be. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Some people think you can't put a dent in the coyote population, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I'm here to tell you that you can and in a big way.
All you need to do is ask the older predator hunters what it use to be like before the onslought of millions of predator callers and government hunters with there cyanide, helicopters, airplanes, snares, traps and predator calls all but wiped out coyote populations in many areas of central and northern Nevada.
The real sad part is Nevada hunters let this happen by paying an extra $3 on there hunting lic for predator control. You can bet the cattle and sheep ranchers had alot to do with that one, they WANT every coyote dead.
Somebody that would find a coyote den and kill all the pups and the two adults is sick and NOT a hunter at all. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I've been hunting coyotes longer then many people are alive, I enjoy the sport and have a great respect for the coyote.
Most serious predator hunters don't hunt the coyote during it's denning season.
I was in northern Nevada this last Monday and Tuesday, They had alot of snow and water this last winter, BUT I didn't even see an RK, RC or a mousing coyote. That's not a good sign for this up coming season.
Southern Nevada don't get the ADC work northern Nevada does, that's probably the better place to hunt this fall....Good hunting to all you southern Nevada predator callers this year. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
