I hate to tell ya that coyotes aren't strictly to blame here. Sure, they take some deer, but predation by humans (ie: hunting) during this coming opening weekend will kill off more deer than the coyotes have all year.
I hunt in the Prattsburgh/Pulteney area in 8P and 8R. The deer herd is down from where it was 10 years ago but it is nowhere near desperation levels.
