Default RE: Predators and deer

I think you could benefit by becoming more aware of the real relationships between predator and prey.

Prey control the predator populations just as much as the other way around. Both are a benefit to the other. It might even be that the increase in predators is helping the deer learn to better avoid being a hunter harvest or even being seen by hunters?
I agree. Man by far is more distructive than any coyote. We have alot of coyotes here in NY. For years hunters have been saying that coyotes are killing all of the deer. Hunters are still killing multible deer each season and does still have fawns at their side. They sure are blind!! The one and onlybiggest threat to our deer herd is over browsing of winter feed.
