<p>Robert like i said before It a shame that fox hunters are to blame as they over hunted one breed and brought it an invasive breed. This is not really the coyote's fault but it has created a problem for you and others in your state! We see this happen world wide!

Remember it was cats and dogs that escaped from ships that led to the extinction of the Do-do bird which despite the reputation of its name was actually a very intelligent bird. It just couldn't out run the cats and dogs that suddenly showed up on its island habitat. Basically in the case of your coyotes, it was a problem created by humans and now you and the coyotes have to deal with the situation. And as usual the invasive species seems to be winning!</p> When Coyotes come in our yard…tag:iknifecollector.com,2015-01-09:3181080:Comment:12505232015-01-09T01:05:30.270ZRobert Burrishttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/RobertBurris
<p>When Coyotes come in our yards and kill our pet dogs, not counting chickens, sheep and anything else you want to raise, well, their respect as a wild animal needing their space is lost. Louisiana never had Coyotes until the Fox hound clubs brought them into our state. A very sad situation.</p>

<p>When I was growing up in Missouri, they had a bounty on coyotes. If I remember right it was $25 per coyote killed. But Missouri dropped the bounty.
