Sask coyotes DOWN !!

I did some reading after your post H4831 and the majority seem to say the same as you. Most experts said that it gave temporary relief in problem areas but as soon as the bounty ended coyotes quicky rebounded.
All I know is that the farmers around Moose Jaw have said many times to me that they loose alot of calves, farm dogs, ect... and for the time being a bounty may provide temp relief.

Coyotes have no wild predators, once a food source like rabbits drys up they dont just die, they wander into cattle pens, wander into cities, garbage dumps ect... and kill.
I think shooting them is a way better idea then poison, like they do gophers. Many hawks and eagles die after eating poisoned gophers.
I don't think anyone has an answer but in the mean time Im going to continue shooting them like have for the past decade or so..

Cheers!!

I have never seen a dead eagle or hawk on our land were we poison gophers... but a few seagulls do end up being killed. We have more eagles and hawks than ever here.... not many rabbits though, and less coyotes than we once had.
 
I heard a long time ago that some of the pesticides/chemicals being used affected the egg shells in the raptors and that resulted in some low population numbers. Not sure if it's true or not.

To those of you from the enlightened sections of Canada against a bounty system. Please come to almost any where in SK and buy a couple of sections of land.
Then purchase about 500 head of sheep and help feed these wonderfully wild dogs.
We need your help in this backward area of Canada. ;>).
