I don't think a fox is going to kill a calf. I didn't say that....I was talking about yotes. I agree, the days of people having lots of chickens/ducks running around the farm are pretty much over. Different regions play into as well, I'm sure. Most farmers here want the vermin killed, complain about crop loss to deer, but are hesitant to let people kill them. Go figure[&:]
I think that coyotes are one of the most vicious animals on the planet. No kidding.
Yes, the change in the average farmer's attitude over the last 5-10 years has been amazing. It used to be anyone could hunt now they don't let anyone. Like you say, go figure.
