I have thought that for along time. When I went out varmint hunting. Certain areas always had more of one or the other. I am talking over a 500 or 600 square mile area to huntSo we went kinda as the market or our wants demanded. To those certain areas so we had a chance to get the right aminals.
But that will change as time and animal cycles dictate. Kinda the flow of nature.

so tell us you secret of coyote control.... the yotes have pretty much taken over the area I live in. I snared quite a few of the song dogs this last two winters but still see very few fox tracks Fifteen years ago we had a half dozen land trappers that took 100 plus fox every season. Now we have one canine trapper and he get a dozen to fifteen reds a season but has averaged over sixty coyotes each of the last three years. Trapper

I think they got Mange in them bad around here.Plus my neighbor closed his Butcher Shop down and quit throwing food for them in the woods.

Try calling them to you And shoot.. They respond real well to distress cries.. Also a decoy works great too if you happen to have one. I use a battery operated cat toy I bought at Target and also a coyote that I mounted.. It helps give you a better chance to not be seen..
