We have a flock running around the back of the farm I might shoot one this year.
Been leaving them alone for a few years.

Nature balance is a crazy thing

Well at first the coyotes seemed to but we have a year round season basically on coyotes and people shoot em trap em etc. And the super rugged terrain has helped them to survive.
Bobcats seem to be harder on turkeys in some areas more so than coyotes

Not really nature balance. That implies equilibrium. Man is the thumb on the scale. Nature is out of whack and Coyotes are needin a lil’ balancing…

Part of my comment was based on your statement, a couple years back I was on the west side of MI, heavier on Yotes and lighter on Gobblers

Now I’m in central MI, its the opposite, I was told they’re was a effort put forth a few years back to reduce the Yotes, so when I see the flocks of Gobblers that we have I have to agree with your call on why the numbers :+1:

Coons rob the eggs out of the nests too.

Yeah not a fan of Trash Pandas, Foxes or Bobcats either. Mt. Lions are a growing problem in Wyoming now too. Unfortunately the F&G is not the agency it once was. The same thinking that let Yellowstone burn is infiltrating it.

That it seems to be a real problem spreading like peanut butter across this country . It is a total crap show in most big agencies

Lol

Well those ol’ Mt. Lion hints with dogs . Watch several on film and they run them up a tree and of course the cat is judged for wether or not it should be taken a very large older Female out of her prime, or a young breeding female .
Or a large male etc…I like good animal management.

It was sorta like what I do when I go doe hunting.
If I see a doe with young just born in June. I let her and the young ones go.
I only shoot older line females . I can the meat now so the 90min. At 15ibs. Will tenderize any meat.
