Robin,
I think for those of us in the northeast the reintroduction of the turkeys is the main reason for the number of coyotes in our area. The other mammal that is doing a job on the birds is the Fisher. I see one almost every time I’m deer hunting and with their ability to climb trees they are especially tough on the turkey population. In CT. we can and do shoot coyotes year round but the Fishers are somewhat protected. I believe there is a short trapping season but no shooting.
