RE: How big of a threat are coyotes?
I dont think the bio's have a handle on what they're doing to our deer herds. Most of the data (concerning fawn mortality rates anddeaths other than through disease, starvation, winter die-off, etc...)I've seen cited is 10's of years old......and that doesn't take into effect the population explosion of the coyote (or the re0introduction of wolves to some areas).
We have 100 counties in my state.......and we have coyotes in all 100 counties.
I'd like to have one mounted......but to be honest....it would be like killing a black snake out of my yard. They serve a valuable purpose where I hunt.
