Let's not forget that you're not mother nature either. Mother nature can be cruel, no reason for hunters to go down the same path. To compare a rat to a coyote, nice!! Give me a break![:'(]

The last two winters I got an average of $20./coyote. Let me guess, you're back east some where, or way south? The western coyote is worth more than most. Just FYI, NAFA reported in March of 2008, average western coyote sold for $38. So unless the current economy is going to knock the snot out of fur prices, yeah, I fully expect to get $20. average again this winter!
