Problem with coyotes

[goosebuster]

We have alot of coyotes on our hunting land we were suppose to trap them but never could get it done. My question is how much do you think they hurt the deer population will they kill a healthy deer or only one that is hurt or just fawns. We are seeing tons of deer right now and also coyotes at the same time but the deer dont seem to pay them much attention. Just seeing what yall thought.

Thanks

They will eat anything they can catch. Fawns turkeys and there eggs' Rabbits, quail,and anything else kill all of them.

The idea that they kill only the sick and old is a disney myth.



They have a large prey base with rabbits and rats in some areas and may not bother the deer as much other than fawns.

The best time to kill a yote is when you see them.

They will really affect ur turkey and rabbit populations. They will take a toll on ur deer 2 it just won't be as obvious as the other 2. My suggestion iz find a good trapper in ur area and thin em out!

Most if not all wild predators will go after the "Easy" meal, which means YES, they will go after the sick and/or wounded......however, the Babies(fawns etc) dont have to be sick to be an "Easy" catch, so they will go after them........it is a Balancing act of Nature.

Never heard about it on Disney.........I got my info from "Wild Kingdom" & Animal Planet

Yes they will go after the little things like rabbits and rats, but with those too, they will go after the easier to catch ones....

they kill deer you better get a trapper but make sure he is a good one or they will get educated and nd don't let anyone tell you poison is the answer because that will make them kill even worse and still will not have got rid of them
