Coyote hunting is an essential part to herd management where I live. Last year alone me and my brother combined for a grand total of 26 coyotes. The sad thing is we didn't even go hunting them we only shot the ones that made there way into the same field as the cattle. I can say that after I got my two english pointers and my brother's irish wolfhound very few coyotes come on to the property anymore. Its true even though I constantly am watching the coyotes we still lose at least 2 calves a year. I just can't be everywhere, but thats where the (dog)s have started to help a lot.
