Outrageous Outsider thinks he's hurtin' somebody by calling them stupid childish names.

He's just a dude with a need to kill living things.

I don't kill what I don't eat. Hence, I don't hunt deer. I will hunt squirrels (a real invasive and damaging animal), rabbits, and wild game birds but I'd never shoot a coyote just because it was there. Even the ones around my farm. I've never had them get close enough to the house to worry about them. None of my cattle raising neighbors have had any of their livestock bothered by them.

Folks like that Outsider dude shouldn't be allowed to hunt in Vermont, or anywhere really.

I eat everything I kill except coyotes. I’m glad your neighbors don’t have issues with coyotes, I do. We have lost calves, had one cow half eaten that we than had to put down, sheep and pets. Our area has a massive overpopulation of coyotes.

Also you are correct, as a hunter and a farmer I have a need to kill living things. That need stems from feeding my family and neighbors.
