I don't mind folks killing coyotes too much when their livelihood is at stake!
But to endanger themselves in traffic is way beyond weird!
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept here does autopsies on roadkilled coyotes, as well as other coyotes brought in to them.
I don't know what the statistics might be in other states, but in Texas approximately 90% of the coyotes diet is....field mice!
So if you are supporting your family on a diet of field mice, if you're raising field mice for their fur as a commercial venture, or if you're breeding field mice to sell for profit to reseach laboratories, then by all means kill coyotes to protect your family's welfare!
The rest of you are just sick![:D]
BTW, do you know that the Plains Indians almost unanimously believed that humans came from coyotes, that they were the smartest of all of the great Wacondah's creatures, that they taught humans to hunt, and that their presence boded well for any tribe.
