GASP !!!!
Are you implying that the big brain / skinny arms folks that work tirelessly to provide us data are NOT omnipotent ????
After all, they ARE scientists, you know.

Open pasture country WMC. No open unfenced range here. Most of the operations here do range lamb. I used to work in a neighboring county that had an extensive trail system to and from summer and winter ranges and it is a whole different challenge to stay ahead of the sheep and where they are going. It is completely different working with herders and guard dogs and trying to keep track of where everyone is or is headed. The open pasture country is easier most of the time. We do have some huge pastures with some producers. Some in the dozens of sections in one pasture, but still in a pasture.

Short rehash of Knowlton's re-re-visiting of population dynamics:

I've got copies of the others somewhere. Been a long time since I looked at any of this stuff though.

Dave, I read you post twice and agree with most everything it said. I wasn't around in the 80's to decide on the study results for that period but personally think (Guess) that the info is probably correct because the prior years and post years seemed accurate.
Awhile back there was a question about "what do you call a group of coyotes? I can think of a couple of names. Clans, Families, Packs, Groups, Hood Rats, clubs, etc. The mention of banner years of rabbit cycles out west is something I am convinced of having an effect on Coyote numbers. The Drought years comments is another thing I agree with. Thanks for posting the study.

I was going to post on the "coyotes choosing to have more pups" but Cal and Scott posted exactly what I was going to say and said it better.
