RE: coyotes, to kill or not to kill, your take!
Coyotes are worthy and deserving game animals, I don' t view them as pests but as crafty intelligent predators. I respect these animals immensely and Any Coyote I would take especially with the bow I would consider a great trophy!
And just like any predator their numbers do need to be balanced to stabilize their impact on other game.

Bobcat, So eloquently put, " kill them all" . I couldn' t agree more. I also agree with Matt. For certain the coyotes are intelligent predators and accomplishing the awesome task of harvesting one of the wily dogs is commendable to say the least. I have taken two dogs with my bow back in Colorado in the high country where I lived until July of this year. I am however looking forward to taking more here in Washington where I am now. I will post the pics here when I dig them up. Bought a new computer when we moved. Went from a Mac to a PC and have the pics burned on CD somewhere. I also agree with Mr4pt.
Coyotes do indeed eat baby turkeys, adult turkeys, eggs and have an even greater detrimental affect on whitetail deer populations. I have witnessed in Colorado three adult coyotes stalk and take down a mature whitetail doe. They affect the mortality rate sometimes directly of deer fawns. Especially where coyote pop. is dense. Yes, there is a serious need for the management of this predatory animal. Besides, I don' t know about hunting them in the east or midwest but out west like Colorado they are no easy task with a bow.

Depends on whether or not I think im about to see deer...but probably shoot it. Someone said that if you dont mount it then you probably wont get anything out of it...some parts of texas have a bounty for every yote killed...somethin like 20 bucks a tail
