Were it a native species, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, they are filling a niche left by the elimination of the Red Wolf. Regardless, they don't belong here and need to be controlled.

Looks good. Kill everyone you see, and it still won't put a dent in the population. They are almost as bad as hogs.

Oh and they do stink. The buzzards won't even touch a dead yote...

Turkey Vultures most certainly eat dead coyotes. Skunks and opossums eat em too.

Maybe on National Geographic shows, but I have left them laying, and the vultures won't touch them. Same with dillos for that matter.

Actually though I think the reason they stay away dead yotes for the most part is because a yote will attack a vulture if it gets the chance. Out in an open field, I am guessing they would snack on a dead one.

Is that why that one in the photo looks smaller than the ones I've seen round me?

Could be a variety of factors. Diet, age, genetics, etc.

Thank you for your service to petdom. We've had reports of coyotes around here, and I am prepared. But, my neighbor across the street warned me not to be shooting at any yotes over the next few days, because they are going to be using their coyote call to mess with the next door neighbors.

Bear44 told me that it was a 40 lb yote. That is actually a pretty good size for a yote, especially a female. It looks small because he is 6'3" or 6'4". It would look way bigger if I was holding her. I am 5'7" lol.

Yep. And the one I had a clean shot at and passed on because I had a serious brain fart was bigger...
