In my wmu, the gunners kill the coyotes and I think they help keep their numbers in check, so basically I am thankful for the gunners and do not begrudge them their gun weeks. If the MNR yanks the bans in other wmu's, I can tell ya....it won't be bowhunters culling the yotes.
My attitude towards you depends upon how you have treated me.

What we need is the MNR to spend some money on good science to get a handle on what and where the numbers actually are. Then based on the sound science make sound management decisions to best manage the population for whatever the goals may be. If that means cuts to whoever and wherever so be it. Most of the observations we as hunters make in the field, while valuable, are anecdotal for the most part. For example in 82a this year I saw more fawns, does and bucks than I have ever seen. Other guys a few concessions away didn't see squat - so who's opinion is valid? Who knows - we need a bunch of field experienced biologists on the ground and in the air to get a proper handle on things. Otherwise we are just guessing.
The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

In some WMUs, I believe that the small game season extends past December, and thus for those wishing to hunt the coyotes, there is plenty of time to do so? Or am I wrong about this? Looks like I need to do some re-reading on those regs again.
I know that around Algonquin that the coyote/wolf season is more or less banned for now.

Just a thought, there's lots of ways to look at it.

ROFLMFAO! Now,that's funny right there. You guys are just kiddin'.....right?
Do either one of you hunt?
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Open discussion;...most of us have 1 tag...what's the difference to the deer population if I fill it in Oct or I fill it in Dec...???
