@Susie Coyotes are multiplying at unmanageable levels. Destroying quail, rabbit, and other small wildlife that once were abundant. Not to mention their domestic animal encounters. I’m 100%+ in favor of the FWC and the State of Florida to offer a bounty on each coyote carcass collected.

The Black bear and the Coyotes need a Federal Reserve where they can live outside of overcrowded housing. FWC used to be for conservation. Instead we have miles of homes begging to be sold, solar power fields that kill birds and animals, among other nuisances. What happened? Animals wouldn’t be roaming to find food if WE didn’t steal their homes and resources. There is a ton of property here for the animals. Why not give them their own Reserve and allow them to live as well? Trap them safely and take them to their own fenced acreage where they’ll carry on as God intended them to.

the meat is really good and the fur is great.

Anne………….. We as a human animal have taken territory from other animals.

Management comes with the idea that what animals are out there have a place to be and food to eat. When one or more of those dont line up then we must make adjustments tot he animal population.

Yes one day there will be no place for animals if we continue to expand.
We love to spread out and get away from other people and for good reasons.

THe Forever wild forest do a good job of allowing logging, hunting and management.

To the soft hearts out there, you open your door to the garage and face to face one of these animals and see how loving you are to them. Its is not a loving or laughing matter. Your life is in your hands. Yes there is a lot of building going on in Florida. But there is a lot of forest left yet. They need to stay there. Just saying

I think this is repulsive and agree with @anne. WE destroy their habits and then complain when they are trying to survive and our response is to kill them vs trying to find a way to co-exist with them. We humans seems to learn NOTHING from history. For as smart as many think we, the human race are, we are stupid and vain.

I thought the Sierra Club was one of them there high dollar, fancy hunting clubs. Who knew? LOL! Now for the bears, it is a NIMBY problem (Not In My Back Yard). Ever notice when they show-up, those opposed to hunting always squeal mightily for FWC to do something and remove the bears?

Hmm. We destroy their habitats with concrete & bricks taking away their food supply.
Then we holler when they turn over our trash cans looking for survival food, they do not snack. They attack when they feel threatened, they don’t go out looking to hunt a human. Then the humans decided to eliminate some of the bears. Makes me wonder how humans sleep at night.

The conservation groups should focus efforts on slowing and managing residential growth. The builders are responsible for careless destruction of habitat, and with less habitat comes the necessity to control wildlife populations.
