[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5722410, member: 1409"] Which brings up another aspect to this. Many of the deer which coyotes get blamed for killing, have actually been seriously injured previously by a motor vehicle. Many deer get hit, but do not die on the road, only to wander off, sometimes dying even days later, then scavenged by coyotes. We then get a picture of a coyote carrying a deer leg, and assume that coyote killed that deer. Sometimes they do, but often it's a case of scavenging an already dead deer, and/or finishing off a dying deer. Again, I hate coyotes. They do sometimes kill healthy deer, or deer that would have survived their wounds. [I]ANY[/I] wound, even superficial, if it bleeds any at all, that deer is in grave danger of being "dogged" and weakened by coyotes until they can eventually kill it. This is something to think about when you take any less than high-probability shot at a deer. The deer may survive the superficial wound, but may not survive being dogged by coyotes because of it.
