Well I know first hand the devistation to wildlife these preditors have. I have to scale it back but around here the coyotes have all but eliminated the pheasants and rabbits and they are no help to the deer population either. I love running my beagles and I can't believe the lack of rabbits. I haven't shot a pheasant in 13 years and haven't hunted them in 10 years. New york denies bringing them in but it's funny how they just showed up out of nowhere one day.

As for the wolves out west, I am building pref. points for a rut hunt for elk and hope colorado can keep them out before I go. I feel sorry for the outfitters and everyone else who has to deal with the bad effects of having wolves. I know as a non resident, that state would get my money one time if all I saw was wolf prints and no elk.
