RE: Could it be that overhunting is not the problem in PA?
Is it time to start really wacking the heck out of the coyote population? It sure sounds that way to me. If a great percentage of the coyotes diet is deer (and it seems it is) and the deer population in those areas goes down, the yotes are going to go looking at the dining cart in other areas.
Sounds like some gov't folks need to take their heads out of "dark & smelly places" and get a handle on this problem.
