I agree.
But, the case with many pics like this one, the coyote may have just scavenged an already dead fawn.
A significant percentage of fawns simply die. Scavengers find & eat them.

They never get a pass from me, never.

I enjoy hunting coyotes but I could sure live without them for the turkey and deer sakes!!

Getting ready to stir the pot with this post but here we go. I think that coyotes, coons, possums etc are the biggest contributor to the reduction in turkey population. It doesn't seem like anyone hunts/culls them anymore. Could be wrong but just my .02

IMO, coyotes are much harder on the turkey population than the deer.
But in many my turkey hunting areas, when we had the most turkeys (years ago) we also had more coyotes then as well.

IMO, hawks kill more turkeys than coyotes.
And crows may break up as many turkey nests as coons.
Bobcats may also kill more turkeys than coyotes.

So agree with you, but you just left out raptor birds and bobcats.

One word trap. 2 dozen mb 550 or duke 650 pros will help that situation. They work 24-7. Now you wont catch them all and its a year round effort but it works. Throw in some coon cuffs and the deer and turkeys will thank you later
