I doubt many coyotes kill for just the fun of it. I DO know many get blamed for killings that were later found to be done by dogs, raccoons, etc.
I cannot say that I know evey coyote in the woods though. They are individuals and they do not all act the same. Very few animals, inluding people, do act the same.
My farmer neighbor is a wildlife technician for the state of New York. He and his team have many coyotes around here wearing radio collars and they've been tracked for years. That tracking has eliminated many false claims against coyotes.
Now, I guess one might argue that coyotes get better behaved when wearing collars, but I doubt it.
I've lived here for over 30 years with coyotes all over the place. Most farm animal killings in this area of NY are usually found to be done by dogs. That and raccoons. Every town in the state of New York is required, by law. to have an "animal damage assessor." He/she is supposed to be trained on how to idenity a kill and who actually did the killing.
Coyotes are one of the last large animals in the woods that people can shoot, just for fun. I suspect that leads to stories attempting to justify the killings.
Years ago, I used to rrap coyotes, but that's when they were worth up to $75 per pelt. Not anymore.

The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
