We don't have a big coyote problem in 5 C and we didn't have a hard winter. If there are lots of skeletons in a given area they are either the result of poachers, radkills or unrecovered deer killed during the season.

If you believe in the PGC density goal of 6 DPSM in 5c, then those that use their bonus tags are not gluttons, they are doing what Alt wants us to do and that is to reduce the herd by 50%. Since 2 G and the NC conties are below or close to their OWDD gaols ,most of the herd reduction will occur in the southern tier counties where the herds are still double or triple their OWDD gaols.
