99, what 99 says is quite true in some areas.. I have hunted chucks on and off for many years, although I haven't done much in the last 12... When the coyotes came in, they nailed a lot of the chucks.. Killing coyotes in the brush and hay fields of the east is more difficult than it is killing them out west.. I know guys who hunt them with dogs like they used to hunt fox.. They do ok. But in a winter, the four or five guys who hunt together kill less coyotes than one hunter in good country out here..
The second big thing that has change the chuck population,is many of the old farms are growing up in brush.. Good chuck shooting demands good feed.. In the areas I am familiar with the old farms are becoming brush patches..
