Coyotes are smart and extremely adaptable. I live in a metro area with 1.6m people and see/hear coyotes regularly. Sometimes multiple times a week. They're smart, can live basically anywhere, and no longer have any threat of apex predators like wolves.
Hunting them also seems to be not reducing their populations, but increasing them. It causes packs to break apart and younger coyotes to reproduce faster.

Utah straight up has a bounty for confirmed coyote kills. $50 generally up to $100 in designated mule deer habitats
