should coyote season be all year long

I wish everyone would kill every coyote they can. Two of us saw 15 in 4 days of deer hunting. I flatten two and dad missed one. The one he shot at was running in a pack of 10 others! All I saw were loners. No wonder we have not been seeing any yearling deer and turkey flock has fell from 14 to 2 toms.

In the December issue of "Predator" mag they stated that in South Carolina predator/prey study they concluded that coyotes killed more than 50 percent of the radio collared fawns in the study.

Not every law is referenced in the Hunting Guide.

Yes it should, and I never could figure out why crows are not "year round" also.

I remember hearing that we signed some kind of protection treaty with Mexico years back to protect blue jays, and since crows are in the same family as jays, crows were inadvertantly protected. Can anyone debunk or verify this?
