I hunt coyotes mainly for pelts, summer coyotes suck, heat sucks, bugs suck, snakes suck. I don't hunt deer, elk or antelope though when I did I never saw coyotes as a detriment to that, the more coyotes there are the better I like it.. A rancher in need always gets helped.
As far as I'm concerned they could have a coyote season on PUBLIC grounds Oct.to March same as other FURBEARERS. Hunting carp with a bow, fishing, skeet shooting, load development, rifle building and spending quality time with my wife(hunting season I'm gone) are what summers are for. I even told my sister she had to change the date of her wedding because she was going to get married on the opening day of duck season
