Coyote hunting in the spring.

Sounds like the real solution is to use sterilization drugs on the females, the vocalization will indicate good pack size but breeding will yield no results. But that's a big stretch in probability.

only troubles with that is how do you administer that and get it in enough to do something? Let alone keeping it from causing troubles for other scavengers. And who pays the cost of such.leghold Trapping and hunting can lower populations temporarily as gringo pointed out.  As cougarbart said it also lowers avg age which makes it that much better come fall.  I personally hunt them year round and no age group gets a pass but as I stated my area needs all the help it can get. I know several people who believe coyotes don't predate on deer much but in my area they do. This spring a doe was killed in my back yard by coyotes and I find fawn legs all summer long.

Another possible benefit to having a younger age class is that they are probably more likely to stick to mice and other small animals as opposed to deer.

It's those old veteran yotes that teach the younger ones to drive a deer out on the river or lake ice where it can't find footing, or distract the doe while a partner grabs the fawn or simply harass a deer in late winter until it can't fight them off any longer.

Another reason I hunt year round. Those old dogs are a little less Leary in the summer months, much less pressure in the "off season"

where I live we have an abundance of predators, they get no brake from me, no off season.

When I did flight training up in deer park we had a quite a few close calls at dusk with coyotes on the runway. The more you Wack the better!

I live about one mile north of the runway

Not coyotes, but the results kind of bears on some of the conversations in this thread.  Only 3 wolves left.
