RE: Coyotes, anybody else seen them?
Coyotes (and bears) are the reason why our deer herd is being decimated. I live in the country (in Catt county NY) and I know for a fact that bears and coyotes are taking deer regularly throughout the year... especially fawns. One night during a snowstorm last year I was in my driveway bringing firewood into my house. I had 3 deer walked up to within 20 steps of me before during around. When this happened, I thought, if I was a coyote, it'd be nothin' for me to run one of those deer down...even if to do it for the joy of it. In addition, I read an article that a coyote can run faster than a deer. How can a deer escape a hungry coyote. My friends in PA, it's not Alt destroying your deer herd (although, I believe he tried to), it is the predators!
