Yep! And in my part of the country coyotes have no natual enemies except 4 lane highways or hunters with a Foxpro and .223. I don't hate coyotes but I learned a long time ago that the above scene is pretty common. I shoot them when the opportunity presents itself.

The 46gr Hornady for the Bee is the bullet I use for calling at night. I push them really hard. Smack a coyote within 100ft or so and they are DRT. Really handy - no searching for a runner.

They did their study and the conclusion was that coyotes accounted for 89% fawn loss! They did this by examination of coyote 'scat' which had the hair within! I shoot all these 'bastids' I can...and I have done away with many!! Even birds know not to land downwind!

If they can take him down, they can kill about any deer they choose. I dislike coyotes almost as much as I dislike hogs. I show them both the same courtesy when I encounter them out in the woods. DF

Am ready, willing, experienced and fully equipped to start zapping some predators this winter. Being new to the state, I just need to find some places to play.

VarmintGuy Campfire Ranger V Joined: May 2003 Posts: 23,036 Likes: 6 SW Montana	GeauxLSU: Thanks for the pictures - as graphic as they are they need to be seen. I personally have seen Coyotes take both Deer fawns and Antelope fawns on many occasions - and I have come across kills of adult game that I suspected Coyotes instigated and completed. Add to the predation by the Coyotes on the fawns and adult ungulates those that are killed by Bobcat, Mt Lions, Black Bears, Grizzly Bears and now rampant predation by transplanted Canadian Wolves and you will have diminishing game herds and poor Big Game Hunting for humans! We as Hunters here in SW Montana are learning that sad lesson right now. Indeed, I TRY, to shoot every Coyote I see. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
