Apparently, at some point back in the 30's, the Indiana deer population was almost nonexistant so the state released a bunch to kick start our states deer herds--worked way too well and now we are over run with them--it's the main topic of conversation everywhere--then, the DNR, in their infinate wisdom, introduced a bunch of breeding pairs of coyotes to cut down on the number of deer and of course that plan backfired also- the coyotes eat the ground dwelling game birds, pets, small varmints and have had no impact at all on the amount of deer--so we now have a state full of deer and coyotes--good for the deer hunters and the coyote hunters such as myself, but hard on the farmers chickens, young livestock and we keep running into the deer--just wait til the feral hogs make it up to this area, we already have enough of them to hunt in southern Indiana already-- it's getting interesting--DNR will probabely release mountain lions to eat the hogs---John
