RE: How bad are coyotes on deer?
If you have 6 Coyotes caught in one month, you've got issues. They are putting unwanted stress on your heard. Even if they're not hunting them the full year, the presence is unwanted. Eliminating one species is too great a damage to the ecological community, so don't "shoot them all," just try to reduce the number. Two to three years out and you'll start seeing significant changes in your herd.
