Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Cape Bretoner, Feb. 2010 – The latest numbers from the Saskatchewan Coyote Control Program indicate that residents have removed nearly 18,000 coyotes since the program was introduced in November. […] The [Nova Scotia] Department of Natural Resources is adamant that a bounty would not be effective and have no intention of initiating one.
Halifiax Chronicle Herald, Feb. 2011 – Coyote attacks man on farm in Hants County
I encountered several coyotes while hunting last fall – all of them running hard in the opposite direction before I had a chance to raise my gun. Memo to Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources: shooting coyotes is less about population control than it is “attitude adjustment”.

I’m all in favour of a trap and release program: trap then in the country and release them in the cities.
The best way, is to let the corpse freeze solid which then let’s you quickly remove all 4 paws with an axe in order to collect the bounty.
Blast them.

Abe, bwaaaahhhhaaaahhhhaaaa,
Every liberals nightmare!!!
bwaaaahhaahaaa……
Nova Scotia coyotes have been genetically modified to attack people who don’t vote conservative. Think about it, have you ever heard of a coyote attack in Alberta? It’s a Conservative conspiracy to scare people into voting for a Harper majority.
Redneck rural controlled by left leaning urban population #s, hence we have the NDP as our provincial masters.
We’re spending lots of coin on bird shredders and other useless feel good initiatives, and very little on real issues.
Don’t expect any coherent strategy any time soon.
> Boudreau said the trapper will have two types of traps to use:
> a foot-hold with rubber jaws and a cable restraint system.
> Both are designed to keep the animal alive and both are considered humane, he said.
Being humane to a man attacking, horse chasing yote would be the last on the list of my least priorities.
What kind of ‘farmer’ does actually inform the NRD of a pesky yote instead of SSS in god damn rural NS?

That was a powerful and inspiring short film.
Hey lefties heres one to p you off. Ishoot wolves too.
A bounty on coyotes is absolutely attitude adjustment – and it works. Never been very close to coyotes myself (excepting corpses), there are tonnes around (lots of howling at night) but anytime you happen to get very close the things are high-tailing it in the opposite direction.
Those bird shredders are certain to increase coyote populations. They will become prime feeding grounds for the animals and if hunting coyotes doesn’t become more popular, I fully expect to see more headlines of coyote attacks on people.
We’re just cute little doggies who need love and tummy-scritches! Come pet us!
Nova Scotia is run by a communist. We now confiscate well over 50% of your income as proof of our province’s “generosity”.
Your memo, I’m afraid, shall fall upon deaf ears.

You betcha, SSS comes in real handy down heya in N. Louisiana when the gators start getting to close to the hen houses.
Oh yea, reminds me of another joke. Do you guys know why down heya in Louisi-Yana they call them Bayou’s ? Because they run by you house.

I have a den of coyotes living across the street from me, they are a protected species. A local farmer had his cow’s tail bitten off, how many attacks are enough ole wise conservationists?
Okay. Let’s start a 50/50 contest.
$50.00 entry fee per partcipant.
1/2 proceeds to SDA, the rest to the winner.
Winner: guy who releases the greatest number of coyotes in Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver.
20 bucks a pop?
gee, at that rate it would be worthwhile to breed them at a secret location and reap the bounty.
has that kind of thing ever happened before? (insert your own hint here:__)
Geez beagle! Tell me you’re not actually considering cross-breeding with them!
That’s just sick! :~))
The bounty sure decimated the coyote population in these here parts.
No bounty in Alberta. There is always a shooting iron behind the seat of the pick-up though.
There’s always a little something in my truck too monster. Not so much for coyotes, more for the crazies I’ve had to deal with over the years. The only thing I actually had to shoot was a rottweiler. I guess I didn’t really have to shoot it, but it seemed like the right decision. The oilfield guys around Provost AB were a little more careful about taking their dogs to work after that.
But if you want to see ’em really move, you have to shoot at them. Then they just blur out of sight.

Mojo: ‘Windage elevation And lead.’
You mean lead, as in leed (in front of), or as in led (the bullet itself)??
Gosh, sometimes English is ambiguous.
Personally I kind of like coyotes. There is a 1200 acre wilderness park adjacent to our home. I take my golden retriever there on a daily basis.
Every once in a while I spot a coyote, and there are supposedly more than a hundred in the park. They sometimes, using one apparently friendly coyote, attempt to lure my dog into the bush, where, of course the rest of the pack is waiting.
That is when I lose patience with them. Mess with my beloved dog, and you are messing with me.
But I have found that are generally easy to run off.
The sad thing is the frequent notices posted on lamp posts in our neighborhood, advertising lost cats. Apparently the owners of these cats who insist on letting their cats roam at night, do not realize that their pet has become a coyote’s lunch. Sad.
