There was a reason the old timers hunted the bigger predators out of most agricultural areas. Now, the bunny cops, tree huggers, and back to nature freaks have re-introduced many of those predators BACK INTO THE SAME AREAS.
North MO had deer for 10 years before coyotes showed up. Within just a few years, those yoties were eating sheep and calves instead of deer. We had turkeys for 40 years before bobcats showed up 5-6 years ago. How long before the kitties find smaller livestock is easier to catch than turkeys, squirrels, and rabbits?
