Yep j-c coyotes can be royal pain in the neck!! I've actually seen a coyote with a half grown turk in is mouth before!!And trust me when I say there one of the smartest animals on the planet!Once they get a taste for turkey,its a tough go getting them to move on and the guys are right in stating eradicating them by trapping/hunting is the best way to go.One other alternative is try hunting later in the day!Once all the morning activity has calmed down theres a very good possibilty the yotes might move on to greener patures!As many birds as your describing theres a good possibilty a few of those birds filter back on your ground later in the morning or even early afternoon!Dont know your legalshooting/hunting hours but late morning to early afternoon hunts have on many occasions turned out to be some of my best!!good luck Bob
