AZ does it by mailing a survey to a random sample of licensed hunters to get estimates for the number of predators and small game harvested statewide. AZ also requires a hunting license to take coyotes. In states where a hunting license is not required to kill coyotes, I do not know how they could track hunter harvest.
I wonder how many really fill it out or lie about their numbers, just saying...I wouldn't think it would be an accurate way of keeping track.
