Coyote diet in the Fall is 40% persimmons, 26% deer. Summer it's 26% fawns, 9% adult deer, and 25% blackberries. Interesting podcast.

[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5635545, member: 1409"] Weren't those studies in areas where there was extremely poor fawning habitat? In the areas I typically find myself, it appears most of the venison consumed by coyotes is scavenged from already dead (or dying) deer. Another noteworthy aspect of diverse good deer habitat is that it usually has high population of small prey species much easier to catch than a deer. Coyotes love rabbits & rodents. But if they stumble upon a dead deer, that deer may be 100% of what it eats for the next few days. I think we can be misled by the percentage of whatever animal meat is found in a coyote's stomach.
