The biologists tell us that coyotes seldom catch a turkey, but I have observed that they spend a lot of time trying. Maybe they are like we are and keep going even without success, but I suspect that they catch more than some think.
As General Stonewall Jackson said about the Yankees - "Kill them; kill them all."
same biologists that told me that all the deer in Alabama rut at the same time and that coyotes don't affect deer populations or kill adult deer.
