During the fawn mortality study conducted by the PGC a few years back, they found bears to be FAR more of a threat to fawns than coyotes. If you go to the PGC page I'm sure you can look around and find the study.
Exactly and the coyotes are what everyone blames for the deer kill. Here in WVthe bear population is out of control. There are bears literally everywhere. But all you hear here is how the coyotes are killing all the deer. Yes I'm sure the coyotes have an impact also but I feel comfortable saying there are more bears in my area than coyotes.
