HAHA.....Roy gets told to leave Utah and go to Texas. He did already...
too late for that. Apparently the Idaho variety of yote has a little more class and only eat rabbits. We should transplant ID yotes down here. Problem solved.
As has already been pointed out, the 'objectivity' of some of this crowd is just a little suspect of being the slightest bit biased. Let me see if I understand this....que violins...the poor pup coyote while adorable will grow into full fledged killers and must be stopped. Each pup will be responsible for 20,000 deer deaths in two decades. (music shudders) Understandable, some of us will have extreme difficulty overcoming the cute factor and fulfilling our manifest destiny as we snuff the life out of them with our bare hands to prove our commitment to wildlife. (Solo violin soprano concerto)
Now, to help with what must be done and complete your immersion into honorable sportsman status let us reflect on the greater of perils. Should you let that pup go it will surely tear into the hiny of a fawn, ripping it from seam to seam. So consider yourself as responsible for saving that fawn, for the greater good, to spare it from hardship, from suffering, to live on another day, and maybe, just maybe, that fawn will sport some calcium on its head and present the opportunity to be whacked from 600 yards with a 338 RUM delivering a ton of ft./lbs into its vitals.
So in short, snuffing out pups mandatory for wildlife, mandatory to show you have man gear, and if one of the dens goes unnoticed this spring or otherwise not dealt a death blow, say good bye to deer as we know it. Total eradication is the only possible way out of this yote mess.
Then the footnote at the bottom of this handbook explains that you are the lowest of vermin if you ever shot a turkey out of roost. A bottom feeder with no ethics.
Some of the subjective BS emotional hype around here can be every bit as absurd as anything the HSUS can drum up.
Is a dead coyote a good thing? Yup. If you let one walk will it destroy everything as we know it? Nope. Will snuffing a yote out save a deer from death and or mutilation? Probably so. Is it really the suffering of the deer we are worried about or a lack of opportunities to whack a 200 inch buck? I think we all know the answer to that.
And damnit Roy get some ethics about you son. I thought you was learned better.
