Farm Hunter,

I like what you alluded to about coyotes..."So we feed them, by improving small game habitat and feeding areas". I've personally found that all my deer management efforts have greatly benifited the small game populations, especially snowshoe rabbits and grouse. I may not have as much of a problem with the predators due to the fact that there is simply so much else out there to eat for them. One of my game pics last year was of a bobcat walking by with a red-squirrel in it's mouth...lots better than walking by with a fawn in it's mouth
