Default RE: @#$% Coyotes.

If you have land, set up some snares for yotes and then sell the furs and use their meat for bear bait or food. Least you could do is not be wasteful. Cause if you are willing to waste a coyote, then what else are you willing to waste?
I am sure that any carcass left in the woods is used by nature to it's fullest extent. Why are some so arrogant to think that if a human doesn't use it that it is wasted?

Bear baiting is ILLEGAL in PA.
I'm sure any bear that comes across a coyote carcass will utilize it though, without the act of being intentionally baited. What does bother me though is coming across a rotting fawn that was run down by a coyote. The problem (or resilience) of yotes is that hunting alone would never eliminate them. Only a combination of habitat destruction, prey species decimation, widespread poisoning and bounty hunting would accomplish this. Hunters see only a fraction of the numbers that are present. The widespread practice of shooting them on sight will only control their numbers, which would be a good thing IMO. The timing of the coyotes disappearance from many states and the decimation of the deer herds in the 1800's was no coincidence.
