yes i read it all and it sounds like you are basically blaming it all on coyotes and the fact that one hunter in maine was bitten by a yote doesnt mean much. every year everywhere coyotes approach and sometimes attack decoys. they even kill turkeys all the time but it has never stopped the birds from gobbling. i am not saying that every now and then the yotes wont quiet them but it is a very short time. as in minutes or hours not days and weeks. when birds stop gobbling it is known as a gobbling lull. it happens everywhere and is not because of any predator. you are entitled to your opinion. as is everyone else. you should write lovett and ask him what his expert thoughts are on the subject.
