There were some years about 10 years ago that I would kill 20 coyotes a year, mostly October through March., and also throughout the year here on the farm. I would kill 3 or 4 a year out of one field next to my house, targets of opportunity. I'm not killing many anymore, and I blame part of that on losing some prime coyote hunting ground, and part on the Mennonites moving into our area in large numbers. They trap them, and they have snares and fish hook traps set all over, including many places where they don't have permission. So, yes, coyote numbers seem to be down here.

As far as foxes go, we don't have many here. There is one farm I hunt about 20 miles from me on which I've killed a couple of greys in the last few years. We see a red fox here every now and then. I also like to call bobcats, and this is the first year in past 10 or so that I've not called up a cat yet.
