Wow... Not sure what to say to all of this?
I'd engage in civil discussion here with some of you who seem so filled with blind hate if there were any point to it. But there isn't. Your comments vividly illustrate a profound lack of even the most basic knowledge, understanding or any modicum of experience with the very animal you champion. You guys so obviously know so little of the coyote, and have so obviously never spent any time observing them, yet you make such advanced judgements in regards to them, that there simply isn't any grounds upon which to begin even the most basic of civil discussion. I have been privileged to spend thousands of days in the field pursuing coyotes, with both rifle and camera. I've observed first hand the entire life cycle of the coyote. I have an extensive library of coyote literature, including everything from both published and un-published graduate works, to both published and un-published gov't funded studies, to non scientific literature like Dobe's stories of coyote lore. I have spent countless hours talking to people who have devoted their professional careers to either studying coyotes, or attempting to control coyotes. Coyotes are my favorite animal. I have much admiration and a deep seated appreciation for the coyote. I wish coyotes as a species nothing but prosperity. But I have a deep enough understanding of the coyote, it's nature, it's adapability, it's intelligence and reslience, that I know the coyote does not need my well wishes in order to prosper. The coyote is going to prosper regardless of what Man does, or does not do. But, if in some fantasy world that will never actually exist, I thought that hunting the coyote would harm that prosperity, I'd be the most vocal, active anti-coyote hunting advocate you could imagine.
All you guys are offering are superficial, self centered, ignorant, hateful ravings utterly lacking even a shred of intellectual integrity. It's about hate, it's about yourselfs. It's not about the coyote. You don't know the first thing about the coyote and I believe that deep down, you don't give a rats ass about the coyote either.
But, anyway... The magnitude of your ignorance regarding the coyote is mirrored in your lack of knowlege or understanding of the coyote hunter. You truly have no clue. You offer nothing here but mindless insult and farcical input. I'm no crusader. It's not my job to educate or enlighten you.
So... I guess for you guys that suffer blind hate for that which you have no understanding or knowledge of, well, I just feel sorry for you. And I'll leave it at that...

When I kill coyotes I give the carcasses to Vietnamese restraunts and homeless shelters. It makes me feel good about killing the mangy mongruls. One time we blew the ass end off a dog, damn shame but the meat was no good. So we propped it up in a toilet in the womans bathroom of a rest stop. The little guy looked so cute with his head all propped up over his paws like he was coming right out of the toilet. I am glad that at least that carcass brought us a bit of entertainment. You should of seen the women running out of there, priceless!

DAA: I read your diatribe and was amused to see you paint yourself as a victim of blind hatred. That's overly-dramatic to a level only known by high school girls.
I've also read you gleeful accounts of coyote killing, and the joy you take in blasting coyotes out of their pads precludes even the slightest notion that you respect these animals. It's kind of like the way a child molester talks about how much he loves kids.
I spend a lot of time watching coyotes and even recording their night songs while I'm in Utah. Perhaps I'm not the "expert" you are on the animal, but know enough to see how wrong it is to goof on killing them. Again, to claim a love and respect for the coyote while getting cheap thrills killing them is a non-sequitur. You need to do some serious soul-searching about this."The eagle never lost so much time as when he consented to learn of the crow."

DAA - I'll take that bait.
Here is the thing that I truly can't wrap my head around. Your respect for the Coyote as an animal translates into a desire to hunt them for sport? I may be dense, but I just can't understand that mentality. You know, I have a deep seated knowledge and respect for several living species, wolves for one, the ponderosa pine for another. Yet, I've never felt the urge to kill a wolf or to cut down a ponderosa pine, just for sport. I could respect you if you had given me some understanding of the purpose or logic behind what you do. But you haven't yet. Basically, all you've told me so far is "i have a profound respect for coyotes, yet, since it's not going to make an impact on the population, I highly enjoy killing them for no particular purpose." This is the same mentality of people who kill rabbits or potguts, just for the purpose of seeing a explosion of guts and blood. I just can't understand it. Believe me I have tried. I grew up in small town Utah, so it's not as if I haven't been exposed to any of this before.
You said "The magnitude of your ignorance regarding the coyote is mirrored in your lack of knowledge or understanding of the coyote hunter."
The thing is, I've been around people shooting rabbits, coyotes, pot-guts for all of my life, quite a few of them within my own family. The thing is, not one of them has been this fabled "coyote-hunter" that you speak of. They are just a bunch of good old boys who like to head to the fields and kill things for fun. Nothing from your original post shows me anything different.
As far as your taking pity on me - thanks, but I don't need it. I'm not the uneducated, hate filled person you're speaking about.
It's not about the act itself, it's about the mentality. As I mentioned before, while your completely convinced that humans are not going to make a dent in the coyote population, well, I find that hard to believe. The reality of the situation is, as I'm sure your aware, over-population of animals lower in the food chain is usually caused by the removal of that animals natural predators. Nature did a grand job of keeping things in balance for thousands of years, most people don't seem to grasp the impact we have had on that balance. As you'll recall, passenger pigeons, dodo's, bison, were all hunted to extinction or near extinction by people who thought they were never going to seriously impact the population of those animals. When was the last time you saw a flock of passenger pigeons?Tear down Dams, Build up Dreams!

I generally don't like it, as it is usually used to take things out of context and twist things around. Long time favored tactic of forum hemorhoids everywhere. Anyway, against my better judgement...

Hell, even if you reach the same conclusions I have, and still want to hold coyote hunting and coyote hunters in disdain, that's fine too. I encourage you to dislike me . Just don't go around projecting irrational hate, based on a poor understanding of the facts, when mountains of data and evidence are so readily available. Besides, hate is just bad Karma, you'll feel better all around by just letting it go.

So tell me: How is it that indulging in blasting dogs a trait of someone experiencing "inner peace?" I know we should all just accept this pastime of yours, but there's no way in Hell you can make a point for this being no more than an outlet for pure meaness and utter depravity. Your responses always ignore this point, and it's probably good they do. You have no justification.
As far as that Hate Thing, I don't hate you, just hate what you do to the coyotes. But I do know this: Your hate for me is right on the surface. And that I find kind of funny."The eagle never lost so much time as when he consented to learn of the crow."
