The book details the breeding habits and den locations of coyotes, suggesting that successful den hunters need specific skills. The authors emphasize timing and a careful system for locating dens using environmental clues and coyote behavior. It also covers necessary gear, methods for safely removing young coyotes, and the broader ecological effects of controlling coyotes, outlining ways to lessen the environmental impact while still managing coyote numbers.
