One of the guys was driving a back road the other day, and saw a coyote run out of the bush, with something in it's mouth. The coyote dropped it's meal, when it saw buddy in the truck; the coyote was carrying the back leg of a new-born fawn.

So kill coyotes, if you got the time. They're killing the fawn crop...
 
I totally agree and that's why I kill every coyote I see. The eco-terrorist pressure groups are trying to make us believe that deer is only a very small portion of the coyote diet when multiple serious studies from credible researchers are showing otherwise. Studies in Texas have shown that the coyote’s diet consists of 70% fawns during June and July.

If I had the opportunity to go south and east into antelope country in the winter I would have shot as many coyotes as I could because they are big predators on pronghorn fawns. And the pronghorn population is down and needs a break.

There are plenty of deer around Rocky where I hunt, so I wouldn't go out of my way to shoot any when their pelts are not prime.

When you are a vegetarian "prey species" you are likely to end up in a carnivore's stomach sooner or later.
 
All my hunting spots are thick with Wheat right now that keeps them hidden. Another month or so when the wheat comes off and I'll be knocking some down again.. Around here they are doing more than just hurting the deer populations. There are many reports of them coming right into the many small towns scattered around and killing small dogs and cats along with farm ducks and other small farm critters. I've even seen them hunting turkeys this year. Saw a fox last week walking the edge of stream with a gosling in its mouth too.. Way too many coyotes around here but I rarely see fox's so I let them be.
 
I do as much damage on them as I can but after having 3 rubber totes full a fur that I cant sell I don't see a point to it I think we need to lift this law here in Ontario where we need to preserve the hide
 
I was talking to my father who is a licensed trapper, apparently they are expecting high demand for coyotes and fox this year, should sell all they get. Same reported in Fur Fish and Game and through North American Trapper.

In Ontario the hides can be shipped/sold at auction on your small game license.

Here is the schedule and dates for pick-up/sales is SW Ontario:

Ive seen coyotes take deer where I hunt, but unfortunately its a bow only area, The couple times Ive seen them while I'm in the stand, they havn't been in range.

Thanks for posting
 
Would love to trap my first yotes this year but will have to move to the more open farming lands in the valley. Where I've been trapping there's been little coyote sign therefore really healthy fox and deer populations. I've set on the sign that I've found but the coyotes just seem to be passing through and not giving me much chance at them. Looking forward to finding a spot to hunt/trap me a few this coming season.
 
My 22.250 rarely leaves my truck any more except after I get home in the evening since moving to AB. I get up early every morning and take the grid roads to work. Not seeing many lately but I did manage to put one down cleanly last Sunday morning with a single round from my # 1 and a 55 grain Winchester soft point at 300+ yards. It had a lot of red in it's coat, something I haven't seen much of here. Most I have seen run light grey/ brown.
