150 yard drag in January will not cause any damage to this coyotes hide. If it was March to October then it would for sure but the hides are useless during that time period.
Question (and I’m no leftist), I know there is a big market for coyote killing, but why? Is it to protect cattle calves from them? I would think that beef cattle would know how to defend from coyotes (wolves might be another story). Again, I’m not trying to criticize you but attempting to become more informed. I grew up in Georgia in the country but before coyotes became a problem there. I studied in Alaska and got to engage with wolves a whole lot and really enjoyed working with them. Coyotes just seem like goofy wild dogs that we should hurry up and finish the job of taming. Plus I understand they don’t fear humans but their jaws aren’t strong enough to really hurt anything bigger than a lamb or calf (chickens?). I also know that coyotes breed much faster than wolves. I also know a little knowledge (what I have) is worse than none. So please educate me.
Fur, trophy, because there’s a tag for them, management(keeping livestock safer) are a couple reasons people take coyotes. Not too many people are killing them to keep them away from people. Coyotes are wild dogs and have teeth just like wild dogs, they could kill a human given the proper circumstances.
We appreciate your question. Coyote hunting is managed by state biologist who set the quotes & objectives. Most states are have no limit on when or how many coyotes can be killed. This is due to their reproductive, adaptive & predatory behaviors, which are unmatched. Coyotes have HUGE impacts on pronghorn & mule deer fawn recruiments. Many states will pay trappers & aerial gunners to come into objective areas to esstientially suppress coyote populations during fawning season (this is not economically sound). Reacreational hunting them has far less of an impact on their population but is an economic benefit to state agencies. So, why are we hunting coyotes? It's a multifaceted answer... 1. They need to be managed in a way that makes economical sense & we do that thru hunting. Managing them creates better fawn recruitment for pronghorn & mule deer as well as helps impacts on domestic calves. 2. We hunt them because we value their hides for decoration & dress. 3. We hunt them because it's a tradition passed down from our ancestors who settle the west as trappers & hunters. Again, we appreciate your thoughtful question.
Little dude is going to have a bald coyote before he knows it

Why is he dragging it though? Is it for the pelt?

A lot of people just enjoy killing things. Coming from a hunting family that doesn't kill for fun, not everyone is raised that way.
Coyotes are a dangerous pest that will kill your kid given the chance
It’s pest control
@@cameronkoblitz4248 You should thank a predator hunter instead of thinking you’re so holy.
