I won't argue your thoughts and opinions about deer management but the coyote is a definate predator. Predator, that which preys on another in this case for survival and procreation of it's species. Deer and turkey, hmmmm. Set for turkey in the spring, just how many times do you get them to fire back anymore. How many birds silently surprise you. It's not because they are so smart, they want to live! Well they are smart considering that point. But grizz,,, that turkey call of mine is one my best coyote calls. Those gobblers figured out that gives them up to predation. The old bird will come maybe, and look for us acting like a hen. Quietly though, not like the old days. Ive personally seen coyote snatch fawn as they've hit the ground at birth. They sense a doe ready to drop. I have friends who very much watch their cows for the same reason. They loose calves born in the field. The yote is slick, sly and sophisticated. They'll run deer into other coyotes for ambush. Amazing animal. Man is the only predator above them in this area and we must control them. There are many hunts upcoming. Get in one or two or ten if you wish and hunt for them. You will be suprised how addictive it is. And we have an all pensylvania hunt march 2,3,4, check it out,
