Happy hunting.
^^^^^^^Yep.
I have hunted the same three ranches for over 15 years (2 are approx 5500 acres, the other 11,000 of brush, roller chopped for cattle and hunting). One of the 5000 acre ranches is not as handy to get to so just migrate to the other two for the most part (a mistake, I'm sure, as I have not educated the coyotes or deer hunters on this ranch
).
Any rate, early years were more productive partly due to population, plus none of the deer hunters payed much attention to the coyotes before I started concentrating on them. When the deer hunters started trying their hand at calling, as one would guess, they shot a few and many more coyotes became educated; hunting became harder and changes had to be made.
I am still hunting lots of successful stands that I first hunted 15 years ago when I can and still getting coyotes & bobcats on them.
All we do when we shoot a coyote is to create a vacuum which is quickly filled by neighboring coyotes.
