Many threads have discussed coyotes impact on deer and I’ve learned a lot from them. Many on this forum have stated that humans are the main cause of the deer number decline and that coyotes could never wipe out an entire species.
So can someone explain this to me...
Since I have owned my farm down in Wilkes county I have intensely trapped, hunted and monitored it with five trail cameras.
I have regular coyote pictures and have trapped dozens of coyotes, coons, bobcats, possums, etc.
In all my deer hunting sits, predator hunts, trapping, etc, I have never seen a single fox. Out of hundreds of thousands of trail cam pictures I have never got a single picture of a fox.
As far as I know, I am not surrounded by fox hunting clubs that killed them all off so I’m assuming the coyotes are the culprits.
So if coyotes wiped out both red and grey foxes in this entire area of a couple hundred acres minimum, how could someone say they could not to the same with deer fawns??
