I realize that and an ecollar could also be used to control the population if this info is true. You could play it to sound like a pack on your property.
I’m challenging this information and stimulating a new angle on this conversation.

Someone needs to come out with a caller that automatically responds when it hears a yote howl
Now your catching on to what I was getting at! [emoji23]
I’d like to see more research in that area. If it holds true, how am I the dumbass to think of this?

I am not scientist but doesnt that sample area seem to be too large to get an accurate understanding of the impacts of trapping?
300 sq miles?
There would without a doubt be areas that were very densily populated, areas that were heavily trapped vs not, etc. I know around our farm the Amish used to run the yotes with dogs, they killed over 50 in a summer. I almost never saw a coyote untill a couple years ago, even on camera.
Still to this day we still only a few a year on camera and normally never more then 1 at a time.
it seemed to me that the heavy kill offs was keeping the numbers in check in my area for a period of time at least.
Totally eliminating - no that wont happen.

Kelley's Island (Lake Erie Island off of Sandusky), used to have quite a few, a guy offered a bounty for each killed, my understanding is the sighting were extremely rare until about 10 years ago. Don't quote me on this, this was all from a conversation with a former resident of the island that was avid deer hunter. He said the yotes were basically eradicated for years then they started popping again.
