Coyotes in SD

[trippledigitss]

I guess they have a few yotes in mid west huh? A buddy sent these to me by email today. Didnt see them anywhere on here before?

??
These guy's have been busy this winter!!!
??
This is Tony and Terry Russell, and Rocky Longbrake.?? {Dupree, SD }
??
You  think we don't have a coyote problem in western South Dakota well think again!
??
These three boys shot over 400 hundred coyotes in western South Dakota from the first of
November to the first week of February 2011 with in twenty-five miles of my home town.
??
There are 208 coyotes in this picture and the balance of the coyotes had mange. I do truly
thank these three boys for all the help in the control of these predators!
??
I'm a rancher in western South Dakota and with out their help with predator control it would
be impossible to raise livestock. (see pictures below)??

Wonder how many they missed? Probably not too many but I'm sure a few escaped. Quite the slaughter.

Hmm... that's pretty damn good. Really wonder if they were all shot though (trapped?). I don't deny there are the numbers, talked to agency folks that get to hunt off of helicopters, but 400? Figure a few of them would be educated...

Either way, that's some awesome wall art.

Yeah 400 in basically 3 months sounds unreal to me too. What, thats like 4-5 a day, every day for 3 mos straight? Anyway, like most on the net ya gotta take it with a grain of salt. I thought they were cool pics anyway.

If there is Mange, there are a lot of coyotes there.  It's spread through social contact between animals, sort of the canine version of crab lice.  Thinning out the coyote population will keep the Mange from spreading rapidly.  Good shooting for the three young fellas!

Wish I had some hunting opportunity like that! 

The problem would be finding days that the wind would hold off enough so that you COULD shoot a few dogs. Its always blowing over there.
