Coyotes will attack a full grown deer....trust me, I have witnessed it from 40 yards while ML hunting. Full grown doe comes busting down a trail right out in front of me, took me 2-3 seconds to register the coyote knipping at her heels. It kept bighting at her backside, trying to trip her up. late season hunt, so early December. She ran full steem and plunged off into the icy creek, the coyote came to a screeching halt at the bank....Doe swam across froze and stared back, as if taunting the coyote, then jogged off. I then shot over the coyotes back and it tucked tail and took off.[:@]

I take out coyotes, but only because i love hunting them....You want to see a hard animal to hunt, pick up predator hunting. Not as easy as it may seem.
