We are seeing more and more coyotes in Southhampton Virginia. A buddy of mine told me that he read that if you do not kill 70 % of the population you will have more coyotes then the year before. In other words, to maintain the population you have to kill 70 %. Does that sound right? THey must really reproduce at a fast rate and have marge litters. I am new to coyotes and this year was the first time that I have ever seen one in 16 years of hunting the area.
