As coyote populations continue to thrive in across the west, the challenge of managing these animals becomes increasingly complex. The sink-source dynamics of coyotes, where some areas rely on immigration to maintain population levels, add an extra layer of complexity to an already difficult management problem. Join us as we explore the coyote conundrum and the challenges of navigating sink-source dynamics in today's population.
