[kdog8173]

to many coyotes out ther and im no huntiny coyote during deer season..so really only 2 months of it

[jackc99]

It is all year long with written permission of the landowner.

I wish everyone would kill every coyote they can. Two of us saw 15 in 4 days of deer hunting. I flatten two and dad missed one. The one he shot at was running in a pack of 10 others! All I saw were loners. No wonder we have not been seeing any yearling deer and turkey flock has fell from 14 to 2 toms.

In the December issue of "Predator" mag they stated that in South Carolina predator/prey study they concluded that coyotes killed more than 50 percent of the radio collared fawns in the study.

Yes it should, and I never could figure out why crows are not "year round" also.

No reason to look into it, its true. If Jackc says its true then it is

[Decatur]

I remember hearing that we signed some kind of protection treaty with Mexico years back to protect blue jays, and since crows are in the same family as jays, crows were inadvertantly protected. Can anyone debunk or verify this?

[ridgerunner]

If you got em..shoot em...If you can't shoot em , trap em...that's my policy.I've caught several is Bridger #2 coilsprings.
