If you are so deadset against coyotes having an impact on your deer herd, run your own experiment. Do camera surveys this year heavily and set a baseline for fawn recruitment on your property. During the offseason remove as many coyotes as you can and then do the same camera survey and see if fawn recruitment changes. I am betting a pretty penny that your fawn recruitment will tremendously improve just by removing x amount of coyotes. Don't take our word for it though, try it. I have. And it's nowhere near 70%. I might believe 30%. One thing working in our favor, around here, we have no hog problem. I could see where the fawn mortality rate could be much higher in areas with a significant Coyote and hog population. Hogs are probably worse predators than bobcats and coyotes combined.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.
