COYOTES AND SMALL GAME
HUNTING
An excellent example of what can happen when
man interferes with nallire's balance can he found
right here in Georgia. Several years ago some un
ausperting foxhunters brought some Texas coyotes
into Georgia to chase. The animal has adapted it elf
to local conditions and is beginning to overrun at
lea t one county.
Coyotes are mean animals, very destructive
to cattle and game. They are not the genile
creatures made famous in western modes for
their nighs cries that spooked nnoph.de cnw.
bom. In cattle country, covotes arc predators
that destroy many valuable farm animals.
The problem in Georgia is so acute that farmers
In Wilcox county have called a coyote trapping
expert. Smith Canup of the Rureau of Sport Fish
eries and Wildlife, to help them eradicate Hip var
mits.
The Game and Fi»h Commission has no objec
tion lo this eradication program, since the coyote is
not a native animal ami not considered a gam*
specie- Os greatest infcrcH to Ihe <omniis-ion is
I lie fact that the cradi< itors are not udng poi-mi,
which would also be lethal tn other animals. Trap
ping and shoot jug ar? the only -afc way In remove
the pn y routes.
Several of th" creatures have bmn fram’"d
an<l farmers in U drox and *iirr<m»vling couiltiri
evpril to remove several hundred more.
