Wow, all these guys can sit in a tree and kill deer at will, but the coyotes are terrible because they eat their natural breakfast??????? Anybody see anything wrong with this picture???? Some people just want to kill everything they can (and yes, I am a hunter) but understand and love nature and its system, kill and be killed, just depends on where you are on the food chain.

Hmmmmmm, guess what, they are doing what is only natural. I am a wildlife management student and coyotes usually only do that under extreme conditions, they would rather scavenge than hunt. and most of the times, it is not coyotes that are the cause of falling populations it is us humans, we over hunt and encroach on territory, and we pollute. Oh and I forgot, nature is also a large culprit, don't blame coyotes first, think about what else there is out there. In my home town we consistently have low quail populations and people usually like to blame the coyotes, but its ninety percent of the time that we are in a very dry area, and quail need nice green grass to feed off of and for shelter, its not the coyotes hurting them, its plain old nature. I know I am going to get allot of down votes, but it is only because I am telling the truth! And those who vote me down know it!

The PA DNR used a trail cam at a coyote den for 30 days, 27 different fawn were draged into the den. Get off your lazy butts and hunt coyotes. Here in Ohio we hunt every Sunday from New Years to the start of turkey season in April. We use dogs to run them, running Walkers and Plotz. One guy has a pack of beagles that he uses. On one day we got 6 off of one 6 mile long ridge and didn't get shots at several others. 12 Ga. full choke #4 buck does the job.

tonebea, I have watched coyotes commit all sorts of acts that are problems all over the country. It is in their nature.Coyotes are opportunistic killers and will kill and eat deer, birds, and any of their young they can find. If you feel this is sensationalizing the process of nature, I wonder how you view the news.

'Conservation is living in harmony with the land. Harmony with the land is like harmony with a friend, you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left, you cannot love game and hate predators....' Aldo Leopold, ecologist and hunter.

GREAT SET OF PHOTO'S....YES IT NATURE AT WORK AND I DON'T PASS UP A CHANCE TO BE APART OF THE LIFE CYCLE. THEY SHOULDN'T BE EXTERMINATED JUST KEPT UNDER CONTROL. I HEARD A LOCAL POLITICAN REMARK ONCE THAT MAYBE OUR PROBLEM WITH RESIDENT CANADIAN GEESE WOULD BE SOLVED WITH THE COYOTES. THEY DIDN'T ENACT THE BOUNTY. I'M WAITING FOR THEIR CATS AND SMALL DOGS TO START DISAPPERAING,,,,,

Whats the matter guys and gals, It's the way of wildlife, deal with it.
Yes we do have problems with coyotes in parts of the U.S., but we also have problems with to many whitetails in the U.S. also..
So what is the problem?
As long as we let the uneducated people that know nothing about wildlife (I.E.PETA) go around and try to protect every furry thing on earth we will continue haveing problems with too many coyotes and to many whitetails or deer in general.
In Oregon you can't hunt cougers or bear with dogs anymore,,now we have bears going into peoples homes, cougers going into cities killing Fluffy the poodle,,and most of all our fawn and elk calf crops getting killed off due too many protected preditors.
So in order to deal with it we need to deal with and educate the furrything lovers and show them the truth behind what makes good wildlife management and get the balance back.
I know some of you will agree with me and some won't,,,,so be it..
Thank you

i think that it's just nature takin it's course. we eat deer y can't the coyotes?? but i also think that they should be controlled not Eliminated. and yes they should die if they eat your cats

I never pass on an opportunity to kill a coyote. As for an incentive to kill one, its all in the pics. I Hunt NY state alot and still cannot believe there is a season on yotes. Want more time to take a kid hunting with little or no compatition and lots of fun, get out there and call coyotes. Lots of training videos and Primos has about the best action videos from Randy Anderson. They get to cut loose with howls and rabbit screams and you walk the energy right out of them jumping from stand to stand. Try it and it'll be a new passion.

The deer eat all my veggies outta my garden but I'm not about to go and kill every last one of them either. If your area has a yote problem contact your local Natural Resources Agency and see what can be done about he problem. The only time I've had to shoot one was to get it off of a deer I shot and that was just survival of the most well armed.

Glorifiedmidget, what bible do you read? Thats a nice saying but "teach a man to fish" is nowhere in from the bible. It just make you look like you don't know what you are talking about.

sruddek- I can assure you there's no bait, as my cam took the pictures. Pretty interesting reading the posts. While there is no "kill shot", I think any other conclusion is just naive. My conclusion is that the fawn was lying off to the left in a thicket...and the doe just wouldn't go very far away. When she finally went and picked it up, doom followed.

Here in platte county wyo we have a $20 per yote...maybe try this somewhere else

I agree with "tonebea". I don't see a coyote kill but I do out of my way to kim them all year-round. They are a threat not only to deer but to all small game with the exception of anything that can climb a tree. Also "Chuck" - who is the main predator of coyotes to keep them in check besides man? Otherwise they would go uncontrolled with the exception of the minor vehicle kills.

Rezhunter, are you a hunter? well if you are then you know as good as I do that someone that has no ethics on hunting is going to join outdoor life. For every hunter that poaches for fun there is 20,000 hunters who do it for food. Not only for food but tradition, its a way of life, come on when hunting comes around the first week its open there is not a single store in this town other than the sports center that are open. If your a non hunter then you need to understand that same thing that I just explained. We were given dominion over gods creatures, he placed them there for us to eat... Yes they are beautiful to look at and very gracious animals, but I dont think that they serve another purpose, other than to feed gods children, even in the bible is states that give a man a fish he can eat for a day, Teach a man how to fish he can eat for a lifetime. And if you dont believe that then I guess spiritually your in trouble.

well im come across dead fawns that seem to have just been chewed on and not even ate so whats your stand on that??

I agree with seadog. There is a place in this world for the coyote... they keep all of the mice and other critters in check. If your not sure about your area, then ask a local farmer if they are haveing any coyote problems. they will probally let you hunt their property. It's just checks and balances...we are the coyotes preditor.

bowtech777, in response to your earlier comment on the top of the page, i must say, you are dead wrong. Every type of animal species is intricately wound with other species survival, without coyotes the balance of nature will have been upset. Coyotes are an integral part of nature. The world will be a less beautiful and stunning place without them.

excuse me i meant order.

The little wolf pupulation has exploded because there are too many deer; especially here in Ohio. One cure would be to kill more deer. Here is my proposal: Each OH deer hunter should be licensed to kill two deer. They would be required to kill a doe first and upon inspection and tag registration, a second "Bucks Only" permit would be issued. This would bring down the doe numbers, reduce the spring fawn drop and give each successful hunter a "Bucks Only" shot. Deer starvation, as currently happening in OH, would end, little wolf pouplation would drop, we would have larger deer, bucks would become larger and horn size would improve.

i dont think its bad on the coyote as it is all part of nature and thats that. this said i will never pass up a coyote because i think with all the hunters where i am that lots of the deer are managed accordingly and i like to shoot coyotes for there pelts

I like the comments I don't think enough people kill coyotes when they see them deer hunting. Coyotes are survivors and they are everywhere. We were running beagles this summer and they came running in to come get them, they saw us and bolted, figures the day I didn't take my 22 mag. Anyway this year there seems to be a lot of does with no fawns, wonder why? Coyotes? I killed one two years ago opening morning. I think the DNR brought them here to control the deer population, instead of lowering the price of doe tags, f-ers. But there are too many kill them if you can, cool photos.

Looking at repeated frames of deer then coyote, then deer,...makes me wonder how much of this situation is due to feeding wildlife for great camera shots. I wouldn't think a mother and her fawn would frequent that area so much (and so persistently despite the coyotes presence) if it weren't for a good reason (ie dinner). I agree with the natural order of things, but when we bait for those perfect pics, we disrupt that. This looks like evidence to that arguement.

I'm not saying coyotes don't kill whatever they can, including deer. However, these pictures do not show a coyote killing a deer.

The state wildlife agencies need to put a small tax on license that would help pay to put a bounty on these rotten worthless Yotes.

If their was a bounty of say a couple of bucks a piece for them, you would have more people out hunting them.

The occasional kill by a hunter while deer hunting is NOT gonna do the trick to get these things under control.

Hunters need some incentive to kill a worthless animal like these yotes.

I say exterminate them completely.
