Here in Michigan, our DNR has no idea of coyote populations. I've heard numerous hunters talk about not finding a deer they shot till the next day and finding it almost completely eaten by coyotes. Well, I've used road-killed deer as bait somewhat successfully in the past few years, however, last saturday (Oct. 24th) I put a road killed deer out back and nothing has touched it yet. I'm thinking that if we had a good population of coyotes that the deer would have been hit rather quickly. What say you? Would you agree that our population must be quite low right now based on that experience? thank you.
