[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1910595, member: 91783"] There is a world of difference in just killing coyote and controlling coyote . When I controlled coyote I wanted to take care of the coyote that were causing the problems so then I needed to find out where they were coming from . In that way I could get them pinpointed thus set up and kill those that were the problem and move on to the next problem coyote doing my best not to make more problems then I solved . A lot of the guys that were hired to take care of the problem coyote didn't understand that at first and would go out willy - nilly killing coyote then wonder why the lamb , fawn ect. numbers didn't go up or in some cases went down . I have seen where I killed the female and the dog got a new one to help raise the pups . That happened when I got called in after the pups were out of the den and camping in the sage brush , normally late June . So then you take the older ones and spend a lot more time trying to get the pups gathered up . This old male had been around and seen a lot and knew to lay down not moving , not to answer the siren or howls . he would lay down and just watch you . The pups would do the same . These are the ones that make your hair turn grey and get thin on top early in life .
