Maybe need to look into allowing year round coyote hunting for low population areas.
Probably not as much as you might think... I bet EHD kills more per year then coyotes do... [/b]
With more and more recent studies done and from what I have read and heard from biologists, coyotes are becoming more of a major factor in certain areas in deer predation. I think 76Chevy posted some info on a recent study done in SC that really showed how coyotes are hurting their deer herd. Grant Woods emailed me study done by one of his students and it showed what happened when coyotes were targeted and how id helped fawn survival. I know states are different and all with different habitat, but what from I read coyotes are becoming more and more a problem.
