biologists and the state fought the "coyotes are killing fawns" idea for many, many years. Anyone who spends time in the woods in JulyAug knows that the yotes kill the snot out of fawns.

I have personally seen two yotes, one of them a huge male, kill every damn fawn on a 500 acre high fence one year, he killed prolly 70% of the fawns the year before by himself. Granted there was not a lot of good fawning cover available but every damn one of them???? I trapped the younger yote and owner shot the big male, Had plenty of fawns the next year. Go figure.
