NEBeef I will gladly let you have the coyotes we have around here. When I find a few day old calf, that was fine the day before, killed and half eat then I don't really have to wonder what caused the trouble. At first we thought we had a domestic dog problem but we soon saw the coyotes doing the damage. I had to get DNR permission to go on the state land to hunt them. They researched the problem and the local DNR ranger wrote a report to the state that he had found the coyote population was causing trouble with the local livestock. Then about five years ago the state DNR let us hunt them year round. They used to be protected here in Iowa.
The coyotes we had when I was a kid did not cause much trouble but these are different. These are larger and more aggressive. I know they will cross with the domestic dogs. You can see it in some of them. They have hair or coloring that is not from a coyote. I have also seen some dogs that live with them. These coyotes also seem to hunt in a more pack like manner too. They are adapting to the current times.
I have often wondered if it is not the expanding deer herd that is not causing the issue. There are way more deer now that when I was a kid. So the predator animals have a more abundant food supply.
So I will refrain from making a smarta$$ comment running others down that say they have or have not had any problems with coyotes.
As far as the hay tedder comment. That is real regional too. In areas with low humidity they are not much use. In areas with humidity they are very useful.
NEBeef think about how you are posting. You basically called a bunch of us lairs. Many on here are starting to do this. If it gets too bad then many will just stop posting at all. I have been real close in the last several months to doing that.
