I know alot of ranchers in this area. Most all of them have shut off access to hunt on the land they own. Most all of them will tell you that it is not because of the non residents. They say the non resident will bend over backwards for them to have a place to hunt. They say the worst as far as respect for the land that is private are thier friends and second the locals. The things I see happening on public land I dont blame the land owners.
As far as killing coyotes I have heard all of the same things from the ranchers as posted here. They have the trappers come in and they have the land flown. I still can kill coyotes on thier land. No one is really going to like this but you should see the face of the ranchers when I start asking for permission starting from now till big game season to hunt coyotes. They say "well there hides arent no good this time of year." I tell them now I am not hunting for hides I am hunting to kill coyotes. They get an evil grin because they have all been through problems caused by coyotes. I get more and more calls from ranchers each year letting me know where the coyotes are and places they have found dens. I am not an ADC person but now some of them expect me to help control the coyote populations. I have established some good relationships with the ranchers.
