Was talking to my brother this afternoon about his day checking does with the DWR. He said it was a really intresting and educational day.
He talked to the helicopter pilot for a bit and was told that recently, over a two day period the pilot and his gunner had shot 55 coyotes in Bear Valley. Those of you that know this area know it is a rather small piece of the Monroe. I know we have a coyote problem, but WOW. That number amazed me.
I am also glad to see the DWR out gathering data on the does. I will really be intrested to see the numbers and birth dates of the fawns. It sounded like pregnancy rates were very good. Now let's just figure out how or why we are losing them.
