As. Understand it, the more coyotes you kill the larger their litter size the next year.  The fewer, the smaller.  Hunting will not eradicate them, I do not believe.  

We have too many deer in my opinion.  They are in my dooryard each night.  Deer ticks abound.!

Thank you Ted for alerting us to this news and for your shared perspective. To me this attempted NH legislation to extend the limits on coyote hunting and his rationale for it is just fantasy! 

It reminds me of the witch burning craze. All the evils of the world are projected onto a class of people--or type of animal--and our human viciousness under a moralistic guise and rationalization, is once again turned loose to destroy.

Now I remember that witches were believed to turn into wolves and kill livestock and children. Later, once the wolves were virtually eliminated from the European continent, witches then became associated with other animals like cats. 

Ted, I am sure you are very familiar with these destructive human projections in your work to protect the very small remaining rattlesnake population in the North East.

ALERT: A state representative from Epsom, NH, has tacked on an addendum to a bill that if passed would permit nighttime coyote hunting in NH for 10 months year. He called our eastern coyote a "killing machine." Currently, coyotes can be hunted at night in NH from January 1 to March 31. Republican representative John Klose wants to extend the season to mid-August to reduce those "vicious animals" that are "multiplying like it's going out of style." Klose called coyotes "... a 24-hour killer, seven days a week." What century does this guy belong too? And what hole did he crawl out from under?"
