Why hunt coyotes?
As 4th generation ranchers and farmers, hunting coyotes is not just a hobby or a pastime for O'Neill Ops. They have a duty to protect the cattle that they raise for food. For them, predator hunting is not merely a sport, but a way of life.
Coyotes are presently the most abundant livestock predators in western North America, causing the majority of sheep, goat, and cattle losses. For example, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, coyotes were responsible for 60.5% of the 224,000 sheep deaths attributed to predation in 2004.The total number of sheep deaths in 2004 comprised 2.22% of the total sheep and lamb population in the United States, which, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA report, totaled 4.66 million and 7.80 million heads respectively as of July 1, 2005. Because coyote populations are typically many times greater and more widely distributed than those of wolves, coyotes cause more overall predation losses. The United States government agents routinely shoot, poison, trap, and kill about 90,000 coyotes each year to protect livestock.

Wild coyote took my Yorkie Benji in big bear in just a few seconds early morning dark. I looked for 2 weeks nothing. Had a tracker and hound come out and find a trail to the big lake where I found a small skull with an ear, intestines and chest cavity with rib bones munched on. These rabid dogs are hungry predatory scavengers and will attack anything if hungry. They aren't omnivores they are carnivorous wild dogs that carry diseases like rabies.

​@Martin-ug2pq .pigs are invasive species, they have been illegally introduced and as a result are destroying crops at a terrifying rate. They breed like rabbits and have no natural predators. Therefore it is by decision of the state and governing agencies to permit eradication. Take some lessons in biology and species ecology before you begin trolling the wrong crowd.
