Why would one hunt coyote?

You don't eat the meat do you?:humm:

 

[pjbleek]

I don't know anyone who does.

I don't know anyone who does.

Some chick I went to high school with posted pics of her a friend holding dead coyotes... I'm not against hunting if the animal is going to be consumed.

i agree with you there,if hunted it must be eaten

I know of a few instances where someone killed a coyote because they were being a menace. But I don't know of anyone setting out on a coyote hunt.

Apparently they are a danger to other wild game populations http://mainecoyotehunter.com/. But something tells me people hunt them for other reasons.

Alrighty then. Whatever cranks their tractor.

We shoot coyotes here because they harass the horses. We also keep a llama because they'll go after coyotes.

Around here, they come into feedlots and grab newborn calves and eat them. Farmers lose a lot of calves that way. Cuts into their profits.
The only good coyote is a dead coyote. :cool

Hahahaha, I don't know why. But that image cracks me up.

They're a menace - there's a bounty for them here.

When I first started here I asked about the llama and I was told he was there to keep the coyotes away. I've never seen a llama chase a coyote but ours won't let the dogs in the pasture and I've never seen a coyote in the vicinity of the llama either so I guess it works.

They can become a nuisance. In packs they can be dangerous & destructive. Here I believe it is mostly population control because they are so high in the food chain.

Coyotes make me nervous. Out here you can hear them yip and howl when it's dark. A couple of mornings ago I was scrapping ice off of my car's windshield.... it was still dark out..... and it sounded like a pack of coyotes that were carrying on were way too close for comfort. I never scraped ice so fast. I didn't even bother to clear off the rest of the windows. So..... if someone around these parts wants to hunt coyote, I have no issues with that.
