RE: important question!!
Coyotes mostly eat the weak, deadand or injured (except for the spring when the fawns drop but they only take what they need even then). I don't even shoot them when they walk by my stand unless I'm in an area that's got a huge over population problem. The way I see it, they kill for survival, if I'm not successful in the field, I stop by the grocery store and buy a steak, Yotes don't have that option.
