It wasn't that long ago our own g&f almost insisted coyotes didn't kill deer. Then changed it to coyotes don't kill "adult" deer. Then technology rolled around and guys started posting trail cam pictures of coyotes with fawns and videos of coyotes killing adult deer. Then the g&f just went quiet on the subject. Definitely a part of the big deer picture. Well done!!

Pups should be whining or barking, if you find the den reach in and grab a male and neuter it, they make good pets. 😂 .

If you have a borescope tape it on some pex pipe and look in the den , they are pretty cool.

It's hard to believe they are that ignorant. Three winters ago there was about 1000 deer in the six to eight sections by the microwave tower west of Buchanan. I killed ten coyotes around there. I shot one of four on a fresh deer kill one morning. Another morning I watched a coyote run into a herd of about 30 deer. He passed three deer before grabbing the fourth. He had her down in under five seconds.
I think I posted on here before about what appeared at distance to be a late fall brood of ducklings. From a half mile I watched as they swam up the Pipestem towards me. Switching to a spotting scope I seen it was a small 3x3 or 4x4 buck. For a long time I didn't notice the coyote parallelling him on the shore. Soon they were to close for me to get my rifle out of the back of the pickup unnoticed, but I tried. I missed the 600 yesterday running shot. As soon as the coyote left the deer came ashore on my side of the reservoir. His chest was all bloody and he collapsed on the bank. Two hours or more later when I checked he was gone.
I thought only Manhattan vegans thought coyotes were eating only grasshoppers and crickets. I guess this is what the current universities teach biologists.

Heck, I've seen where wolves have tracked n killed bears.

ND deer herd will never come back unless people start targeting coyotes HARD!.
So little cover for the does to drop fawns. Coyotes know this.

Yotes have to eat, same as deer. Suffering is suffering, doesn’t matter who does it.

Having said that, I’ll say that I’d wreck a pickup trying to kill a coyote if I had to. They’re close to the bottom, but far less vile than others. None get mercy from me.
