Jerry White,
It sounds as though you have found an area that is heaven to a coyote man. Those four piles of scat means that there are coyotes using the trail alright. They follow cow paths and deer trails a lot. These trails are the path of least resistence in most cases. Now when you find a spot with a dozen or so scat piles right on top of each other it may well be a boundary marker. Don't worry about hurting your coyote population by hunting and shooting them. Natural dispersal of coyotes from other area's will fill any void you create. You may well make them smarter coyotes in that area, because you just never seem to manage to kill all of the buggers that you call. Coyotes come to the call real easy the first time they are called. They get smarter each time they have a bad encounter and survive it. Murry Burnham once told me that the coyotes teach their pups, and I happen to believe him. We have just as many coyotes around here as we ever did, but they don't call as easy as they once did. I never call a coyote until I am ready to kill it. If we could kill every coyote that we called, there would be no call shy coyotes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
