So will the Wildlife Services hunter on the ground, who presumably will be using off-road vehicles. Birds will abandon nests. Antelope does will leave their fawns. That leaves young animals exposed to other predators. Even if the disruption occurs outside the National Environmental Research Park, it affects what goes on inside that area.
Animals move back and forth.
Sage grouse, for instance, move over large areas. Killing coyotes does not work. The species merely compensates for its losses with increased fertility. And if coyotes that are established in an area are eliminated, they may be replaced by younger, more aggressive coyotes that kill even more livestock, says the Committee for Idaho's High Desert. It's a waste of money.
