1. To protect the game animals
2. Love watching em take a dirt nap
3. my wife wants all the fur she can get for crafts
That being said, I should probably have #3 at the top spot because generally when she is happy, I am happy! :chuckle:

I hunt coyotes so that I may continue to hunt the remainder of the year! :) That being said, the feeling of predator hunting is just amazing! There is so much excitement hunting something that is actually hunting you. And keeping the predator population under control is a great way to help the pray population, example deer and elk, not to mention rabbits and other small game animals.

So no one eats em they just shoot em take hides and the meat goes to waste why shoot something your not going to eat. Just my opinion
So more animals we do eat get to grow up. ;)

I used to feel this way...very strongly...then I raised sheep...I never lost any to yotes but they always showed up during lambing and the neighbors calving and I went from against shooting coyotes to completely understanding the reasoning and need.....and now I am one who would shoot one and yeah let it go to waste ...complete reversal of my past beliefs its interesting what time and experience will teach you if you are willing to be open and pay attention.

Honestly I think many shoot them just to shoot chit.....but it does serve a management purpose which is why they have no season...it helps keep their numbers in check which helps game animals, birds and livestock...they have no real natural controls anymore they are very adaptable and will thrive even in cities so they do need to be controlled and we seem to be the predator for the job in the current environment ;)
:yeah: Good answer.

1. preventing over population of that species, which left un controlled will decimate the ground bird pop..
2. good practice for the eyes and ears. when calling them in you have to keep your senses alert to there presence to know when to call and to not call

You actually have to kill ALOT of yotes in one area to really affect the population... They multiply and move enough that EVEN if you shot all the Yotes off your spread, next year others will move in... I think you would have to be pretty dedicated to make a big difference... That said i take a shot at them when ever possible!

they are like 4 legged cockroaches that eat cats and pheasants and fawns. no matter how hard you try you can never get em all.
