On opening morning of Deer Season I try not to shoot any Coyotes...if I put a nice Deer down or if the Coyotes disrupt the pattern of Deer or I see them chasing and following any Deer then its time to take them out.After the 2 days of Opening Rifle Deer season all Coyotes have targets on them,they shot 2 Coyotes on our Hunting land the first 3 days of Deer season and the Hunters still ended up shooting a nice Buck later on.
After Deer Season You need to do some calling and shoot a few of those Coyotes,some times a Deer will smell the trail of a Coyote and take off in another direction,that when it can disrupt their daily routine of travel and ruin an other wise great day of Hunting...too many Coyotes can thin out a Deer Herd and they will kill Fawns in the early months when they are born.
