sounds like a project for the social engineers.

If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

While I've no reason to question the results, the size of the study over three years makes any conclusion highly suspect, and relevant only to the immediate area.

The cumulative three-year record shows coyotes have preyed on seven adult deer in the study, wolves on three and bear and bobcat one each.

Similarly, over the three years coyotes have preyed on 22 fawns, outpacing bobcats (12 fawns), bears (four) and wolves (four). One fawn was killed by a bald eagle.

They got a fawn in my backyard last Labor Day. I’m only a mile outside Detroit! It is a jungle there. :)

It’s hard to imagine coyotes taking adult deer here- maybe in deep snow in a weakened state- but highly unlikely.

Plenty of them around, but they mostly play hell on rabbits and and mice. Birds that ground nest are at risk come spring.

My guess would be cars and trucks!

WOOOF!

BS - main cause of death for deer (outside hunting season) remains man - poaching and autos cause the greatest losses to deer population.

We have ole Wiley Coyote here in the mountains but ya haven’t seen nothing till you see a Giant-literally a giant Great Pyrenees Dog terminate Coyotes. Its fast, almost scary the power and speed these Dogs possess. If the Sheep don’t make it to the barn at night they will herd them in and if one is missing, they seem to know and will go looking for it. Our female Pyr. has actually brought new lambs back in her mouth.

I thought it would be automobiles.

Now, you don’t need guns anymore. There’s the plan.

According to the “researchers” on the program “Finding Bigfoot”, Bigfoot likes to feed on deer. (I have no idea how they came to this conclusion.)
