That's easily solved...stop feeding the cats and let them eat the rodents.

I wish those coyotes would eat more gophers...

Tell the Amish to quit shooting the coyotes.........I kid, I kid.
If you want to kill them, PM easy way to take them out IF you know their dens.

Had coyotes doing it for free..... You know, natures circle of life... I believe the term everyone uses is sustainable......
Yep...we have a yote pack and a grey fox pair and we haven't seen a groundhog in years upon years. Nor have I smelled many skunks at all, so they must be taking those out also. The dog killed a couple of possum in the past few years and a small coon, but he can only kill what comes into his boundary, so the rest are getting picked off by the local wild canines.
Wish they would eat more squirrels....we have those in spades.

My eyesight is too poor to shoot them accurately any longer but my boys pop a few when they come out...got some in a jar right now, waiting for a good family meal.
My brother rigged up some wire snares down by the orchard and we've caught a few in those, but not nearly enough to count. With all the oak trees, wild cherry and my fruit trees, these squirrels live fat off the land and multiply like rabbits.
My young kittens are just now getting their first wild game~lizards, butterflies and cicadas~and it's only a matter of time before they graduate to squirrel, so a plan is in action.
