Due to past posts I've made & a few arguments that ensued. Did not play well for all involved. It does not matter to me if anyone disagrees with my observations & following opinions. Point being; treat me like you expect to be treated. And then a decent discussion can be had. Not turning a discussion/disagreement into a brawl.
My point; as to differing views. I believe is due to regional observations. For example; I've observed many Red Fox litters mature to the point. They've dispersed/scattered by the age of 12 weeks old. Counter to what I have seen. Some other people/Biologists included. Claim Red Fox kits will leave the den site by around the 6-7 month marker. Well why is there a difference? I personally do not know why. As I've pondered these different observations between myself & others. I've deduced it is a "regional" thing. Is my best guess on that matter
The post I made about what I believed. Was the act of coyote dispersal/scattering of the yearlings. The counter views I gave a long thought. Why did or do we differ on that matter. Well I believe it is due to regional differences. Further more, I've read where some Biologists claim. Breeding season for Red Fox & the coyotes. Can vary over a 4 month span, ie;(December into March). I happen to believe that is possible as well. Some coyote hunters believe the yearlings leave one by one on their own. I do not doubt that, maybe they do. Point being, I can not prove that to not be true. However, What I witnessed from an alpha pair of coyotes was. The yearlings were submitted end of the 3rd wk in December. Then the following days they had left the area. So those yearlings all left within 1-2? days of being submitted. Mainly by the alpha male. I also believe it is possible or a fact. That an alpha pair's yearlings. May not be submitted on only one day. But continual days during a specific time period. Which, I happen to believe. Is due to the alpha female coming into heat. I also happen to believe, as many Biologists believe. The peak months for both canines coming into heat/breeding season is. Jan-Feb.
