Because if you kill them at the right time you get your fawn precentage to rise. From 30 % is the average from what im reading. You are killing 15, and getting more deer. So next year , hopefully you kill 10 and get 30% more deer. My point has been " why bend over and grab your ankles?" Do something about the problem. I do not see it as wasting you money if , by trapping you increase you fawn production by 30%. If you dont have coyote problems, thats great. I am truly happy for the man that doesnt have coyote problems. Its not like im getting rich trapping coyotes! I would say a great % of people on here have coyote problems or concerns. We spend lots of time talking about it right? A coyote ttached a dog in down town or something like that, just the other day it was on the news? I think we have a coyote problem in large parts of the state. If you have coyote problems , trap them if you dont be happy. If you want more deer the trap the coyotes. All over the internet you can see the advantages of trapping coyotes, so if you have a problem why not correct it? I dont fill that trapping is a waste of money, if you do thats your decesion. If you dont want more deer, or are happy with your current situation the im happy 4 you. But if you want to increase fawn recruitment then trapping is a good thing no?
