[QUOTE="jls in az, post: 2270654, member: 17271"] Sorry to say, but you believed the propaganda. Wolves and coyotes take anything they can get, not just the "weak, sick and injured." I've watched wolves go through a herd of caribou, killing as many as they could without eating anything. I've watched a pair of coyotes chase down and kill a healthy, large mule deer doe. They literally ran her to death after chasing her into a blind canyon. There is no "balance" in nature, prey animal populations hit peaks and valleys and predator populations follow suit. Predators, however, can cause those valleys in the prey populations. We've had significant declines in antelope, Coues and mule deer fawn recruitment in many areas of Arizona because of coyotes since the ban on leg-hold traps was passed back in the 90's. The problem with coyotes is that they are omnivores to an extent. If the prey population is low, they just switch to eating something else so the coyote population is fine. [/QUOTE]
