We would put bait out the bedroom window and pop off the coyotes early in the morning. Coyote money is what fed us that winter. (we also had two kids - age 1 and 3).


I bought a new rifle with coyote pelts in high school (early 80's) when I could get $135 a pelt for them in january and february..

I honestly think that a major problem is that no hunting is allowed in national parks. Animals shy away from people when they associate us with danger. Hunting establishes this connection.


I agree completely there, especially with the big cats and wolves/coyotes.
