Dept biologists said coyotes had zero impact on deer numbers...they didn't KILL deer. They were as wrong about that as they were killing does.
The dept biologists (many of them) have said the same thing I've always said. Coyotes do kill SOME deer, but certainly nowhere near the amount we're lead to believe.and killing does can be very beneficial to the overall health and age structure when the local deer numbers are taken into account. Obviously it doesn't apply everywhere to every piece of property.
