Wondering how often coyotes will snag a little pig? I'm sure a couple could separate the sow from the litter long enough for a 2nd or 3rd coyote to grab a piglet.. So really the question is will a healthy coyote population help control pig numbers in and around crops..
Do coyotes kill piglets ?

We have pigs where I live you shoot one and let lay in the winter and I've watched them day in day out never seen a coyote touch them only eagles and crows found piglets that the sow laid on they dried up nothing even moved them out of the bed may be different else where. David

Wait, are you suggesting we stop shooting coyotes?
Someone set this man on fire please.
I don't know for sure but a sow can go from stop to right there in a heartbeat!
Coyotes look for easy prey and I'm not sure they would chance a confrontation with a mad sow.

Stinkin coyotes will kill anything they can.

Coyote will eat about anything, so will a hog.
But neither is helping control the other in my area.

Off on a tangent, there was a story in the local newspaper a few years back saying that feral hogs have been spotted just South of the Montana-Canada border. Our FWP department prohibited the shooting of them. Uh...
The apple orchard owners near me won't allow coyote hunting, deer yes.
I had a duck lease from a rancher that told me all yotes got a pass due to pigs. It was his property and his rules, I'm not arguing. He's the only one I ever heard say that…most cow/sheep/goat ranches have a shoot on sight policy for yotes and normally would prefer the same on pigs.
I'm frum the gubmint and I'm here to help……
