Hell I dunno Gary, I shot a coyote one time came in with 3 mule deer.?? In Montana I was set up shooting prarie dogs. Was ranging some mounds at about 400 yards. Got the 22-250 Target Tikka set up and looked thru the scope. I had shot less than a minute earlier, there was a coyote walking thru the Pdog town about 250 yards out!! Who knows?
I think animals can tell when the coyotes are hunting or just crusing. Anyway bottom line for me is simple, like me!

, "see coyote, shoot coyote"
