How Farmers and Landowners Help Predator Hunters Kill More Coyotes | Mossy Oak

No matter if it is livestock farmers or a crop-only farmer, they both hold one thing that is vital for being able to call predators, that is, the land to hunt on. It took me several years to figure it out, but having various properties to hunt is vital in successfully calling predators all season long. Having an array of property to hunt on prevents over-hunting an area, causing coyotes to become somewhat leery of coming to a call or feeling pressured by seeing or smelling human presence more than they will tolerate. Having a good relationship with multiple farmers can provide all the hunting opportunities you will need while providing a service to them in return. That service being predator control.

SCIPIO CENTER, N.Y. -- Josh Saville said he shot his first coyote in 2007 “by chance.”

“I got it with a bow while deer hunting,” he said. “It just became an addiction after that. I also hunt deer and waterfowl, but mainly I hunt coyotes because it’s outside my business hours and I can do it uninterrupted.”

Saville, 39, is a taxidermist whose shop, Taxidermy by Josh Saville, is run out of his home.

“When you deer hunt, you usually hunt in the morning and afternoon. I like to head out for coyotes after I shut down my business for the day, usually after 6:30 - 7 p.m. and stay out to about 2 a.m.” he said.

The Wily Coyote: Leading the next fur renaissance? — Furbearer Conservation

Let’s face it, the fur industry hasn’t been what it was decades ago. The decline in an American “fur boom” through the 1990’s has coincidentally coincided with an increase in wildlife conflict across North America; especially with one wild canid in particular. The coyote has managed to outlast and outwit mankind’s old-world attempts at eradication and broad-scale control. It has also been quite the topic of discussion from coast to coast over the last few years. Few critters can lay claim to the adaptability and resiliency the coyote has cast upon rural and urban America.
