I say that because I was doing some pushes for my buddy today. Seeing coyote tracks everywhere. On the second push I stumbled on a den. Tracks heading in and out of it in the snow. So once ML season is over I will be replacing my ML with my .223 and do an evening sit to ambush them when they exit their little hideaway.
They have been harassing the heck out of the deer here. Almost every deer bed I have come across has had yote tracks very close to it with the deer tracks running from the beds. Fortunately I haven't seen any kills yet.
