Removing coyotes is an inefficient and ineffective method to control populations. New coyotes move into areas where others have been removed. When there is pressure (such as trapping) placed on coyote populations, the species can actually produce more pups per litter in response and populations can quickly return to original size.
Can you name any place that had a "coyote problem" that addressed the problem and is now coyote free?

I never said you can eliminate them. Unfortunately we are stuck with them but their population can be controlled.
