Coyotes will take fawns whenever they can. In some areas they have reduced the fawn survival rate by as much as 60%. Coyotes are not generaly considered a threat to adult deer unless the deer is wounded or somehow handicaped and unable to run or fight back. I watched a doe mule deer fend off a single coyote. I don't know what would have happened if there had been a pack of them. I was too far away to do anything about it. They were on the other side of a river and a road, so I could not legally shoot at the coyote.
I can hear the PETA moans.
I've been hunting for over 40 years, always with a respect for the land and my prey. But you guys aren't hunters. You're just sick sick puppies with a shameful thirst for killing stuff to make you feel more manly.
Blasting away at coyotes from long distance is not hunting. No meat involved at all. That's just killing stuff for fun, and you'll get no props from me for the effort. Coyotes are useful scavengers who keep other populations in check -- because they need the meat to survive. But I guess shooting targets doesn't make you feel like a man, eh?
Anyway....
If the rodent population in the area explodes as a result of this, I guess it'll be time to go out and blast the heads off of chipmunks, er... I mean "sage rats."

Killing a coyote for the sake of taking down a predator to livestock and deer is one thing, but intentionally using small caliber ammo and simply wounding an animal to go off and suffer, and eventually die, is disgraceful.
