Coyotes don't do half the chit people say they do but if others want to kill em, leave em lay, and then justify it by thinking they're saving wildlife and stock it's none of my concern. One things for sure, we'll never run out of em.
Studies I've read suggest they actually help bird numbers. I justify wacking them because like you said it's fun as hell. Never saw an area that had lots of coyotes that didn't have a lot of deer too.
