My deer numbers are about the same but I'm seeing very few fawns. However, my coyotes are just about gone. Don't know where they went. Still got two bobcats and a red fox.

I love getting bobcat and fox pixtures on the trail-cam. I HATE getting picture after picture after picture of coyotes!  I get TONS of all 3: Foxes, Bobcats, and especially this year already - coyotes I sot a doe last year with a bow right in front of one of my trailcams. Trailed her 150 yards, decided to leave her overnight because the blood completely stopped. We went back the next morning and found her 50 yards from where we stopped looking the night before.....NOTHING was left except her head. I went and pulled the trailcam, and a pack of coyotes ran though about an hour after we had left that night and were on her trail. We need to kill some of them things!

Any deer shot in the evening on my place will not last overnight. It will be half-eaten by morning.
Last year, on the cameras pointed into food plots, I got almost as many coyote pictures as deer pictures. The coyotes work those food plots really hard.

Last 5 of 7 days I've seen two young bucks eating on a pear tree in a yard down the road from me. Just least buck eating there this morning. Been seeing some deer but not many. Mainly doe's and fawns. Not seeing many bucks like I have in years past. But I know they're around.

Our fawn sightings and doe lactation rates were down so drastically last year that several fellow hunters suggested coyotes were the culprit. I would love to know the truth. One a side note, our 18K acre club trapped and/or killed 55 or more coyotes last fall.

I saw a nice 8 pt this morning on the way to work and have been seeing a lot both in the woods and in the car. Your seeing deer in cars ??? 
Now that i read it, the post does sound funny, but i meant i am seeing them when i'm in the woods and when i am in the car on the way to work an dother places.
