“Denning is being done to the coyotes,” Zeth explained to Josh over dinner. “The state will hire professionals to come in, track the coyotes, and find their dens. It’s very humane as opposed to traps, air hunting, and snares. Believe it or not, hunters used to use chemicals to rid the parks of coyotes or manage their population. Fortunately, that’s illegal now. Denning is the best method. I know of a coyote farm in Idaho where the pack, or packs, will be safe. There’s over seventeen thousand acres for the coyotes to live without human contact. They’ll be safe, unharmed, and happy.”
“When will this start?” Josh asked, enjoying a longneck bottle of beer with steaks, carrots, and potatoes that were grilled.
“Sandra is working on it. The process will start in a week and take about a month. The park will be free of coyotes by the end of July. If not, then the first week of August.”
“I’ll be back in the city by then and making movies.”
