RE: Coyote population question
If you see coyotes often, then they are probably over-populated and are hurting your deer population.
I think that yotes affect deer numbers more then people realize, and usually they aren't hunted much.
Take a day, and go sit out and shoot a few of the boogers.
They might come in in herds, or you might take solos out every once in awhile.
It is a fun time, you'll get some trophies, and it's an effective way to help manage your deer herd and help produce maximum deer numbers.
