It always reminds me of early South Park where the uncle goes hunting & the little rabbit runs by & he says (with his DecTalk synthesizer) "He's coming right for us" and then they shoot it to pieces.
About the coyotes - isn't a big part of the "controlled population" argument that the sick & weak deer are being weeded out? Don't coyotes eat sick & weak deer... cause they do around these parts.
I'm not here to argue that you can or can't hunt - I'm just saying that the "over population" excuse is lame because thanks to hunters, the natural predators have been decimated. You don't need an excuse to shoot an animal - have at it - but don't pretend as if you are some kind of loving conservationist who is doing the world a favor.

What point is there for a hunter to kill coyotes and wolves?......absolutely none......or atleast its like that from where I have been.
I haven't acted or spoke of myself as some "loving conservationist." If you knew anything about hunting or ranch maintanence then you wouldn't claim my actions as an excuse or "lame."
