King, was this in recent years?
I trapped commercially for several years to supplement my farm income, back in the late '70s and early '80s. Fur prices were very strong back then, but the bottom fell out in the mid '80s and have never recovered from it. Most likely never will.
Coyotes were just moving into my area then, and I was amazed at the strength and cunning they possess. I hated to see them come into the area as I really liked trapping reds and deer hunting. Now, thanks to Ga. DNR, we are overrun with deer, and they have become a nuisance. My whole opinion of coyotes have changed. Instead of looking at them as something to be exterminated I now consider them my ally in an ongoing war against hordes of whitetails. The deer decimate my crops of peanuts and cotton in some areas, and vehicle kills are a daily occurrence on the road I live on.
What goes around comes around.
