Part of me wishes I had that many opportunities here to shoot that many coyotes, but the other part is glad that we don't have that many coyotes. Coyote numbers here are down compared to what they once were.
Numbers aren’t down North of you, James Jr. I’ve had more pictures on trail cameras this year than ever before. I had four in one food plot Monday! I live up close to the Ohio river. I’m recovering from surgery or I’d be out there after them.
I think it all depends on where you are. The local Mennonites around me hunt and trap them religiously, especially at night, and have put a dent in the numbers. Also, the ones they don't kill become educated, and are almost impossible to call in. I used to see coyotes on a regular basis while out doing farm work, and have killed a bunch of them that way, but that's just not the case anymore. If you get outside of the Mennonite farms, you can can still find them, and in pretty good numbers too.
