Had 6 coyote pups come in and start devouring dead pdogs right in front of us, while we were still shooting. Could've shot every one of em, but just enjoyed the show knowing that there will be a time that they will be my target.
That and plus I truly believe that by leaving the coyote alone all summer ends up equaling better calling come fall/winter.

Good post.
Coyotes are still my favorite animal to chase. Growing up, they were a valuable source of extra money when I was young and even after I was married, and they helped finance more than one "needed" rifle.
I still devote time in the winter months to go up north for at least one occasion yearly devoted to coyote calling only. Some of my most memorable coyote adventures in my later life involve ones that entertained as they came to a call but they were never shot due to the entertainment they provided on more than one occasion. I recognize their potential and real danger to livestock, etc. at certain times of the year, but a good healthy managed population of coyotes is indeed a resource to me. I seldom shoot them in south Texas any longer where the fur is useless year around unless they are causing problems for livestock, etc.
