Default RE: help-coyotes

Don't worry about it. For one thing, turkeys have been living with coyotes since long before people came into the picture. And, There have been various government coyote eradication programs since the 19th century. They don't work. We've got more coyotes than ever. Where we hunt, we've got coyotes, wolves, bobcats, bears.....and turkeys. Make sure you've got good nesting habitat. That will guarantee you more turkeys than shooting a couple of coyotes.
And by the way, turkey decoys do work great for coyotes, and from personal experience, bears, when you're hunting turkeys.
