I hadn't made any association with it, but you could be right. I really don't hunt coyote in the Special Regulation Area here in SE Pa mainly because we have a rimfire only restriction, but I have seen quite a few more coyote than I remember spotting in the past.
Deer numbers seem fine, and they're no jumpier than usual, unless the coyote are crossing the fields toward the bedding area, but those field rats are a whole nother game.
