I've hunted three evenings and all of them have included coyotes in the area. I see them in the CRP and in the alfalfa I am over. I had 4 of them last night frolicking for 2 hours they were playing and yapping. Does their presence keep deer away or do deer not really give a rip. I have seen deer but never while I see the coyotes. I did have a buck under me and he was staring into the alfalfa for 20 minutes and never noticed me. Finally I saw a coyote running around out in the field and he was intently watching it. Do they scare deer away?
