Yep. Most of a Coyote’s food is mouse-sized, the occasional snake, etc.
Same for wolves, surprisingly enough. Big game is hard, fast and dangerous. Predators can’t afford injuries.
Recently an armory in Fallon, Nevada was broken into and the thieves made off with 6 anti-aircraft automatic weapons and their ammunition. Police and military authorities are baffled, because the only evidence they have found at the crime scene are: dozens of coyote tracks….. {Mother Nature, a cold bitch, works her evolution any fucking way she can…}

Latest craze for our state wildlife mis-managers was to re-introduce creek otters back into our streams. Now our streams are almost fish free but we gots lots of otters.
“Federal officials decline to disclose the ranches on which Wildlife Services employees work. Such information “would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,”
God, I love the government. Paying good money to kill critters they could charge people to shoot.

In a nutshell: “Mother Nature has had several billion years to get things right. She knows what she’s doing, you don’t. Don’t f*ck with her. It makes her cranky.”
“Federal officials decline to disclose the ranches on which Wildlife Services employees work. Such information “would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,” wrote Tonya Woods, director of the Freedom of Information & Privacy Act office for the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. “Also, disclosing this information will not shed any light on (federal) duties and responsibilities.””
It’s all about pork folks, and not the kind on four legs. Pork as in graft and featherbedding and nepotism and well just plain vote buying.
The hunt was not needed and even if needed at such huge cost hunters could have done the job so much easier, say $15 dollar bounty on the critters.
But this had nothing to do with really helping anyone other than the bureaucrats and politicians.

“… …$700 to $1,000 an hour [to run the helicopter]”
They could have brought in Sarah Palin. But then it would have been cruel and monstrous.

I say we just kill ‘em. They’re starting to get on my nerves.

No! Predators in a desert environment with “tunable” reproductive systems?
G’wan, wi’ ye…
