In Orange, we shoot em when we see em, even on opening day. Take em out. Last year, since we had a lot of sightings, we set up a day in February for shooting Coyotes. Strategically placed some old meat in certain areas, but only had a hand full of guys hunting, with none picked off. This year, the guys all have agreed to come up and hunt the whole weekend, and we should have a blast. We might set up two weekends, one in January, and February if it's a hard winter up there. Don't need the population lowered worse by predators than just a natural winter kill. We'll throw out feed during the winter to help keep em around, but the coy's know that and use that as their own little bait pile, so to speak.
