In my state we have spent millions of taxpayer dollars on the " Red Wolf" which is factually a Wolf / Coyote hybrid, however the feds and local goonies say it is an endangered species. Hail, we have a 5000 sq foot modern brick building called the SeeWee Red Wolf Exhibit where touristas can come look at them , provide charity blah blah.
Further in the last 15 years the coyote has made it to the same coastal forests where this so called wolf was released. Now we have yotes that touch 45 lbs and have coats like NGs.
Our deer and turkey population started a very evident down trend about one year after the yote gained its foot hold and then dropped to an all time low in the last five years and is still suffering. USFS, USFW and SCNDR biologist call this reaching a balance. F that balance. Where will conservation be when there are no hunters because there is no game?
Fed and state agencies response : Nah can't be the yotes fault, you need to learn to live with them.
A buddy of mine out west looses stock weekly. He says this is his only resort during calving season, dip a chicken thigh hang on a low hanging branch or carve a point on low hanging limb and push thigh onto limb about 4' off the ground. Keeps his personal dogs locked up for several weeks after. Freaking sad when it comes to that for sure.
