problem is your graph is comparing snowshoe hares to lynx. Hares are cyclic....deer ain't.
I don't see your point Troy. All I'm trying to show is that predator and prey populations are directly tied to one another. As far as coyote populations go around here, we are really concentrating more on the amount of small game present representing our prey species than we are deer anyways.
my point is that a graph of coyote vs deer wouldn't look anything like that. Deer ain't cyclic, unless yer counting lows in the 20s to highs in the 60s till now. Yotes have done nothing but increase.
a 1960 to present graph would show a yote line rising steeply to the right(expanding numbers) with no relation to the deer population.
