A good read....take the time to read the stories of these coyotes...very adaptable and can do quite well living around humans....
Coyote 571 survived mange... some pretty interesting stories and information...I thought the field notes stories were pretty cool.

They (coyotes) have adapted real well in Vancouver.
Recently in a local city park the neighbors have posted signs warning of brave coyotes wandering through with little kids and pets close by.
Adaptable they certainly are.

When it get's to that point, time to do a little population control, but that won't fly.

I recall years back reading that in the event of an apocalyptic event, cockroaches and coyotes were the most likely to survive.

...now thinking about it...It might have been a movie like Damnation Alley...I think I caught the dementia from me Mom... :)
 
It is -30 in Winnipeg this week. Good luck surviving that with mange! They are everywhere though.

Haha... I find it interesting though, many of the coyotes I kill appear young, 2yr class. Teeth white, not worn. I speculate that our hunting of them does alter the gene pool.

In the urban environment, the brave and diurnal coyotes survive due to gun discharge bylaws, and so pass on these traits, resulting in generations of coyotes that are less wary.

Around here in the country, a coyote who is brave and diurnal gets thinned before ever becoming a dominant breeder, less passing of the unwary traits. On the contrary, the wary, nocturnal 5-6 year old class yotes becomes dominant and their offspring are likewise more wary.

So as a species, they do adapt to being shot.

As in other species, the young and stupid die first. :)

I've said this on another thread recently, but if this subject interests you try reading "Coyote America" by Dan Flores. It covers the subjects of urban coyotes and coyote adaptability very well.

In "Wild Sheep Country" Geist touches on this that the "old American" species like whitetailed deer and coyotes do well around people, while the "new Siberians" like moose, wolves, and caribou do not.
