RE: coyotes killing deer
Coyotes will reduce a healthy herd... there was a hunting video out a while back where a decent 8 point was taken down by 4 - 5 adult coyotes. The videographer saw one coyote, the hunter pointed to one behind him, then all hell broke loose. From what I remember they chased it into some deep grass and ganged up on it. If I havea chance at a decent buck or a coyote, that's an easy choice! Every hunter should do the same...

RE: coyotes killing deer
All part of the balance of nature. There aren't many coyotes when there isn't food. They are just as important as hunters to keep the herds from exceeding carrying capacity. They target the sick and injured deer and other animals and occasionally they will take a healthy deer. I am not too worried about them.

RE: coyotes killing deer
Around here coyotes eat mostly rabbits and smaller rodents and sometimes feed on cattle that have died. They will eat road killed deer most of the time, but I have seen deer lay on the side of the road for days and not be touched by coyotes. If coyotes are killing deer something is out of whack.
