So you have a different motivation than I do. ADC. I'm not a rancher and don't suffer economic losses due to coyotes. I completely understand your reasoning, and support it. With calving season starting you are going to be really busy. Especially if you only use your rifle for control.
You need to reduce the number of breeders now. And, you need to work the dens later in the season. Anytime you feel like you could use a couple of extra guns, just ask. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
