Coyotes affecting Gobbling
March 28, 2020, 08:50:50 PM
Over the last couple of years we've seen a big increase in the number of coyotes on our hunting property and it seems that Gobblers are not gobbling as much when they hit the ground as they did in years past. Do you think this could be attributed to the increase in the number of coyotes?

Most likely, that's why I try to do my part in removing some every year.

It is my belief without a doubt. Kill every one of those mangy vermin that you can. Reduce the number of yotes , bobcats and fox and you will see a difference I would bet.

It definitely makes hunting a lot more difficult. Killed a couple last year that never gobbled. It makes for a more exciting hunt when you can hear them coming your way.

My thoughts exactly. We are covered up in coyotes around here. I killed a couple yotes few weeks ago. Two mornings last week saw a pair right here again.

We talked with a biologist that said the numbers are increasing because they are breeding with stray or feral dogs and as a result the numbers are increasing exponentially.

I have been noticing this for atleast 10 years now. I have called Coyotes in that were actually looking up into the trees for birds. Gobbling is almost a thing of the past by me. I know there are birds around but after fly down it is rare to hear a gobble anymore.

I was hunting some nf land near my house last weekend watching some birds across a field when a yote ran out right at dark and grabbed a hen. The birds flew and ran in every direction. The next two days were silent no gobbling and hardly a sight of birds

Not hearing turkeys definitely takes some of the enjoyment out of the hunt. Like others have said, I know they are around, but when I don't hear them, I get frustrated and want to move to another spot to see if I can hear one gobble and end up running turkeys off when leaving the area. It makes the turkeys much smarter and that much harder to hunt.

I think turkeys are just gobbling less and i'm sure the predators play a big part.

You do realize birds gobble to attract hens to breed. Just saying
