[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3032169, member: 91783"] I'm not getting political but the whole world is in kind of a mess right now not just Texas, most of the United States is. Alright back to coyotes. Over the years I have noticed a few generalities about coyotes as have so many other people. The population of coyotes tends to correlate to the amount of food available to them, a lot of people will say the more coyotes you kill the larger the litters will be, what I have noticed is that the more coyotes you kill the more food left for the survivors, so the better their health is and thusly they have larger litters. I have seen when coyote numbers were lower, and the prey base was also lower that they also had smaller litters. I have noticed that when the prey base was lower that mostly the older females had litters, they were better able to feed themselves due to being more experienced in my observations. Last summer and fall the vast majority of coyotes that I took were males it averaged 4.5 to one male to female ratio. It might just be me but that tells me that any female cycling will have ample suiters, and few will not have pups as long as there is food to keep them in good shape. A guy told me he called in five coyotes and didn't get them to come in they just sat out there and barked at him now and then.
