Yeah... I've heard that about every animal people want to eliminate and don't succeed. It really makes no sense for two reasons.

1)What could possibly be the mechanism by which the species would broadly recognize that it's being hunted and unanimously decide to reproduce more? Wouldn't it be advantageous for the species to reproduce as much as possible under MOST circumstances? Specifically with coyotes, we're talking dogs here. How much "more" can a dog reproduce? They aren't mice.

2)How does the math work out that you can kill enough of them to trigger this supposed increase in mating but few enough of them that the increased mating results in more than there were before you started killing them? That seems unlikely in the extreme.
