[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2835635, member: 91783"] The coyote pups and fox kits grow fast. They will start to camp out in the sage brush before long here and leave the den hole behind, around mid-June most of the time. It's an interesting time to watch and listen to them when you can mom and dad are the teachers for the coyote pups, and they do a good job of it in a small amount of time. I made the mistake of taking my wife with me one evening to get some fox kits whose mom was killing lambs for them. We got close to the den and a couple of the kits were out playing in the evening sun. I lined up my shot with a 22 long rifle caliber rifle and shot one, it was doing the chicken flop and another one jumped on it to start wrestling. My wife went nuts on me and I had a hard time getting her to let me take care of the other five pups before I had to take her home. I had called the mom in and shot her in the morning and so then I didn't want to leave the kits to starve, but she wasn't ready to see them being shot at that age. I'm not sure what she thought my job was when denning, or how I dealt with the pups and kits. I never took her denning again, but she would go checking equipment and calling adults. It's all in how you think about things, myself I would rather the little predators died fast and not slowly by starvation after I killed the older ones for killing livestock, but that's how I see it for others if they don't see it happening, they don't think about it.
