Coyotes Unlimited

  Due to the growing number of predator control concerns from local ranchers, farmers and concerned citizens we have decided to start a non-profit organization in which to help these people get connected with the right individuals to help them with their concerns. We will be starting a membership (no fee required) in which we will be able to contact experienced and responsible hunters to help with the situation. No traps or poison will be used. Our primary animals of concern would be coyotes and bobcat. All hunting will fall in conjunction with TWRA laws and regulations. There will be no charge for this service. Again, this is for the predator hunting enthusists to get in contact with parties that are having predator problems. 
  As most hunters know, an over population of coyotes in an area can reduce the deer herd up to 50%. This is not to mention the affect on cattle ranchers and farmers. I have personally watched a coyote run a calf into a fence for 10 minutes.
  We are also planning on having predator hunting and calling clinics put on by veteran predator hunters. The purpose of course, is to have educated predator hunters instead of educated predators.
  If any one is interested in becoming a member please send us an email with your name, location, phone number and email address or call us (in the evening) at 865-717-3434. The names of the members will NOT be posted on this website due to privacy reasons but the locations (city & state) will be so that clients will know if there is a member is close proximity of their location. All references to this organization will go under the name, "Coyotes Unlimited". If anyone has any questions please feel free to call us or drop us an email. It is easier for me to contact someone by email during the week. I personally want to thank everyone that has supported us thus far and to the public for their support of our organization.
