I hunt on a narrow 400 ac tract in middle Georgia and we've had coyotes for about 20 years, with a noticeable decrease in our deer population. One of my club member's son learned to trap and spent January through June of 2014 trapping coyotes. In that time he trapped 24! He did a little bit of trapping in 2015 and got about 7 or 8. Since then, we have seen an increase of fawns and turkeys on our trail cameras.
The coyotes are still there, but not in the numbers that they once were. I'm convinced we're helping, but as others have said, we'll never get rid of all of them. All we can do is hope to help balance out.
