RE: People need to hunt coyotes!
One acquaintance of mine (yes I do have a friend in this world) told me that he knows of someone who hunts coyotes with coon hounds, in camoflage, during the day and with shotguns. They hunt mostly flat terrain, position guys in likely escape routes and put the dogs in the thickets. I heard they get quite a few coyotes this way.In my opinion, any more than 1 coyote is "quite a few". Don't know if it is legal or not in NY State, but sounds like it could work.
