doug, here is what i think is happening to fawns here in pa.i never in my life saw so many coyotes as this year. i saw 11 from dec to now,some could have been same ones,i dont know. i started looking at scat or poo as some dont know that.after the heavy snow we had in first week of rifle season , i started checking the scat. it was all over. i did not see 1 turd with deer hair in it.then snow melted, boy, coyotye turds all over . guess what, every turd i looked at AFTER snow melted was full of deer hair. i think those turds may have been there for months. my conclusion is they were eating FAWNS . no one is seeing fawns here in our area but tons of coyotes. i saw many fawns killed while fishing in june.i saw coyotes run them right down. poor fawn was screaming. i saw 2 fawns killed in 1 hour with 5 doe. so, this is my opinion on what is happening ,then throw in hunters that are killing fawns,you dont have much left.take care.
