And hunters are generally among the strongest conservationists.

Particularly with regard to deer, there just aren't enough "natural" predators, assuming most people do not consider man "natural". That may be changing to some degree with wolves and large cats returning to Illinois. I don't think coyotes usually would mess with a deer unless it was a fawn or one that was very sickly and weak, but the local coyote population has certainly exploded. There is one howling outside my window in fucking Lincolnwood right now.


Nature has a crazy way of balancing things out. Unfortunatley, its not fast enough for us and has economic impacts so I can kind of agree with having hunters for this purpose. Of course, the hippie in me says just let nature figure itself out because its been doing a pretty good job for millions of years without our intervention.

Most coyotes run in packs, the lone ones you see are usually looking for a mate to form a new pack in new territory ..nature has a hard time balancing when man fucks things up like killing damn near all the Buffalo or rhino...or killing lions or wolf...removing a top predator fucks everything up.I. believe there is no season on coyote now...you can kill year round. They need to do that to Canadian geese too.

Tell me about it! There are hundreds and hundreds of those fuckers behind my house all year round. They have come to realize that man is not their predator and are now very brazen. Just a couple of years ago if I came running across the berms behind my house, they would move if I came too close and usually even take flight. Now they will barely get the fuck out of my way. They might stand their ground and hiss. There were about five or six in my parking space the other day and they didn't move until I almost ran into them.

My dog I put to sleep last month came up nose to nose with a coyote after I let him out a few
years ago right in my back yard maybe 15 feet from my back sliding door. My dog was about 70
lbs but he didn't have that big a size advantage on the coyote. Luckily I saw what was going on
and was able to get my dogs attention and get him in the house and scare the coyote off. Wisconsin
just reinstituted a wolf hunt for a brief period as well this past season and met their quota of 117.

I never back down from a hissing canadian goose. Hiss at me and it's go time until it backs down in embarrassment in front of all it's friends and mate.
