@GLDRNNR not too far...180 yds or so.

Man can never control nature no matter how much we try. Every animal is there for a specific reason. Humans weaken the herd, predators strengthen it.

[Creative1me]

The objective of quality deer management is not to increase their population, in fact it is to keep the population within the carrying capacity of the environment. In a productive herd, we actually harvest large numbers of does (fawn producers), and allow young bucks to survive. This results in a more natural herd sex ratio and age structure, and a healthier overall deer herd.

But you have to admit that deer management is about making deer available to humans first and all other animals second. Therefore, you will always be wasting money trying to control predators when they can just control each-other. Bring back cougars, bears and wolves and coyote population will go down naturally. The science shows that killing does not lowewr the population effectively, animals reproduce/move in too quickly.

[Creative1me]

Not true, quality deer management is about maintaining a healthy sustainable deer herd, within the lands carrying capacity. Bringing back cougars, bears and wolves is about as practical restoring cities and suburbia to pre-development times...its just not going to happen due to human conflict. I respectfully disagree with your statement regarding science/predators. Intensive not coincidental predator management is effective, but needs to be sustained over time.

The deer population has plummeted in my area in western MN because of those things. The coyote population seemed to skyrocket the last 5 yrs. Even when they are hunted, it is hard to dent the population.

[Hala9902]

A lot better for what. They KILL many deer. I'm not certain about the adult deer, but a coordinated attack takes a few I'm sure and they kill fawns quite easily! I have heard a coyote den having over 25 deer carcasses in it.

In il you can't hunt deer with a rifle so I have a 12 g but you can hunt coyotes with a rifle I use a 30-06

If thedarkocean would delve into his statistics a little deeper and view it objectively he would see what type of deprivation coyotes create in relation to living near man and the herds that concern us, be it deer, sheep or cattle. More coyotes get killed by cars and parvo then by any hunters. There is still plenty of oppurtunities for the coyotes, such as when people leave dog and cat food out, or sometimes even the dogs and cats themselves. If the family pet is eaten,then citizens become aware
