[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2715923, member: 91783"] There is so much to learn about the coyote. The coyote itself is the best teacher that you can find to learn about controlling their numbers. I have learned from them and people that have done control work for years and learned from those people also. If a person spends some time with the coyote really observing them and figuring out what they are doing in my way of thinking it will help them to do better at controlling them, calling them, trapping them, snaring them, and hunting them in general. I have noticed that just because you kill the adults with pups doesn't mean that you have killed the pups. If the pups are 4 weeks or older a lot of them will survive or be adopted by other adults as they are usually weaned by around 6 weeks. I have in the past killed the adult female and seen where the male would get another female to help him raise the young pups, then I have killed the adult male and had the female take those pups back to the area that she came from. I know this from tracking her and the pups. I have killed the adults from a den of pups and had another pair adopt and move the pups in with their own pups, again by observing, tracking and listening to them is how I found this out.
