   With the weekend's exception of a cougar found dead in Mercer County, Ill., large predators are kept to a minimum in Scott County because of the relatively large human population and intense farming methods, said Ed Kocal, a conservation officer for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, or DNR. He said the most common predators in this vicinity are coyotes, badgers and foxes, adding, "There are just a few bobcats here.". Three cougars have been killed in Iowa since 2000, all on the west side of the state.
   ...
   Dogs are also the probable cause of most predator killings in Scott County, Kocal said, although coyotes are censured the most. "Can you imagine being a coyote pup saying to your mother, ‘Mom, why does everyone hate us?' But it's human nature to blame the coyote," he said.. Coyotes, which are shy and fearful of people, can be hunted and trapped in Iowa.. Wolves, however, are federally protected. Officials said their packs will grow in Minnesota and Wisconsin and, eventually, break into smaller groups that will start new packs in border areas such as Allamakee County, Iowa.. But don't plan on seeing a wolf anytime soon in Scott County. "Most of the time, our farming has gotten so intensified with livestock that predators are not an issue," Kocal said, noting that many farmers no longer keep animals out in pens where they can be easy prey..
