[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 587954, member: 8622"] I'm sure that in specific areas the coyotes take a heavy toll on the herds. It's not limited just to the fawns, they'll take on adult does and bucks as well. Some of our coyotes here in Washington are pretty big, strong, good looking dogs. I tend to zap them with my .25-06 deer rifle, although I really ought to give my .204 Ruger a chance one of these days. Suspect it would be kinder on the hides. Last spring, when the does were giving birth, I was hiking and saw a big coyote right on the edge of a herd of mule deer does a couple of hundred yards away. Why I didn't have a rifle in hand is beyond me - I had a .44 mag revolver, but the big yote was just too far away for me. He never left the edge of that little herd. I'm sure he was waiting for a fawn to be born... Have resolved to hike with a rifle this winter and spring. BTW - a .25-06 with 115 Bergers does a mighty fine job on coyotes... Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
