I have read a few studies that Coyotes can take 30% of the Deer population in any given area. I’m with everyone else if you want deer to hunt assassinate the Coyotes.

Okay, well looks like this week I will be hunting coyotes.

Thanks everyone for the advice....I just hope that big 10 pt doesn't walk by while I am hunting coyotes.

Even with the number of deer coyotes kill, the number of deer hit by vehicles, the number of deer lost to severe winters, the number of deer taken by poachersand the number of deer taken legally by hunters - the number of deer (for the most part) is on the rise.

The coyote is an integral part of deer management, it's part of nature. I have not and will never shoot a coyote. It's the old feeling that I do not want to mess with nature. Kinda the same way I will not interfere and save a rabbit from a hawk or fox and I have had that chance.

For those that want to kill coyotes, good luck to ya, no problemo here.

I understand I am the exception, not the rule, because most hunters I know (and respect) will hardly ever let a coyote walk if they have the chance.

OK, I'm ready - fire away!

Jimmy S, I agree. I think It is so strange that its ok forhunters to kill deer, but it is a sin for a coyote to kill a deer. Just plain and simple human greed. Yes, you need to controll their numbers the same as deer.

Kill the 'yotes or you'll notice a big impact on your deer hunting. I don't think theykill deer in large numbers but deer will move to areas that contain fewerpredators, wether it's man or coyote.

I disagree with this, they moved in after the wolves were gone here? But, somehow they bread with wolves making the Eastern Coyote a type of hybrid killing machine. Unlike the wolves a coyote attacks it's prey differently, and doesn't care how many the can kill at once. Snow and ice is when they kill most the deer here. Young and old, large or small is not a problem for them once they get them circled.

I agree with the rest " shoot em "
