Coyotes
With more than 30 million coyotes killing nearly 100,000 livestock animals each year, coyotes are a problem that needs to be solved. We created a network of farmers and ranchers across the state of Montana, who need your help in managing this problem.
Coyote Facts
Jan. 3, 2020
Coyotes reproduce more rapidly than most other predators. Females have a gestation period of just 63 days and give birth to as many as 12 pups.
Disease
17,000 adult sheep and 57,000 lambs are killed by coyotes each year.
The Cost
There are 30 million whitetails nationwide, but coyotes now outnumber deer. As coyote populations increase in eastern states, deer populations decrease.
Reproduction
Coyotes carry mange, parvo virus, and rabies.
Cunning Killers
It is estimated that coyotes cause more than $85 million per year to ranchers, farmers, and wildlife each year.
