[QUOTE="Broz, post: 774241, member: 7503"] Guys we shoot coyotes on site 24 / 7 here. I have killed up to 3 a day. Most years I probably shoot 15 to 20. As does most ranchers in the area. Weekends you see the hunters from the cities come out here to shoot them too. The Gov. trapper flies shooting dozens from a helicopter. These combine efforts can't even make a dent in the population. Wolves are harder to kill, they are smarter and stay hidden better and use pack strategy to guard them from getting shot. Lets say the average pack of wolves is 5. Two or three of which are females. Each female has 6 pups and 5 live. That pack goes from 5 to 15 or 20 in one year. The pups will reproduce in 12 to 18 months. the second year that pack of 15 or more , now we have 8 females and 6 males, the 3rd year lets say the females only raise 4 pups ea., now the pack of 5 in 3 years is 46 total. We simply can't kill enough even if we were allowed to shoot them 24 / 7 like the we do yotes. But every one is a plus so I will do what I can. Jeff [/QUOTE]
