You have a lot of guts coming to a hunting site, given your lifestyle choice. I like gutsy people.

Anyway, if you obtained some of the coyote calling equipment and a training tape, you could issue a coyote greeting or summoning call (not sure what the accepted term or art for this call is, but the training tape would surely describe this for you) and expect coyotes in the near vicinity -- perhaps within a mile -- to answer this call. Ask on this site ("Varmint Hunting", if there is such a category on this site) about coyote calling equipment -- not too expensive for a lung-activated calling system versus an expensive electronic system -- or review the products available on-line from Bass ProShops and/or Cabelas.

Be advised that coyotes are enemies of deer, that is, coyotes have not chosen a vegetarian lifestyle but adhere to their predatory nature and prey on deer. Thus, if you have more coyotes around, you can expect fewer deer -- either because the coyotes kill the deer or the deer have not chose to be a meal for the coyotes and have high tailed it, literally, out of those parts.

A significant element of the love hunters have of hunting is enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors. Paradoxical though it is, hunters too love deer. I happen to like to eat meat and I eat the meat of the deer that I kill when hunting. It is very healthy food and also very tasty when well prepared. I try to minimize the waste of the meat. In the past I have reserved the bones for boiling to make rich venison stock. Most hunters, I feel, do try to make a quick killing shot, but admittedly sometimes the deer or other big game animal does not die quickly. While this is regrettable -- and responsible hunters try to improve their odds of a quick kill by practicing marksmanship and taking appropriate shots -- it does happen. Remember, however, that like people, deer all must die sometime. The natural death of a deer is generally not pleasant. They may be run down and attacked by a pack of coyotes. Imagine, if you will, that death. They may suffer a traumatic injury, such as a broken leg, and suffer for weeks before dieing from a festering wound. They may slowly starve to death over a particularly difficult winter. Few deer, I feel confident in saying, experience a pleasant natural death. In almost all instances, even a bad shoot, the death dealt to a deer by a hunter is much quicker and more merciful than any natural death a deer may meet with.
