Exactly. I started shooting coyotes early season for the past five years instead of does.
Something that no one really talks about now but I believe they will in the future is the impact that coyotes have on deer behavior......It can be the same as applying hunting pressure from humans. Also something else that I think will get more attention especially from bowhunters is leaving your deer for several hours or overnight after a marginal shot........Its getting more and more common to go back and either find an eaten carcass or worse find where the coyotes got the deer up out of its bed it was gonna die in and started chasing it.........For both of these reasons if I were in a club or owned some land that was intensely managed......thinning the yotes out in late summer or early fall would be something I'd definitely consider.......
