well I would like to add, that , over the yrs I have known farmers that poisoned deer, and to be honest, other animals didn't really eat the bait like the deer did, if they ate moldy corn, a bird or other smaller animal might not eat as much as a deer would to impact it, and a bird might fly far a way before dying
I don't disagree coyotes will for sure kill more than one deer, but the odds of it being in the same spot to me is very evry odd, deer learn where bad spots are after a few things spoil an area
and to be honest I have the oppisite effect on coyote sightings
when i hunt them I see less than when I am deer hunting or in trail cam pois
last weekend I spent 34 hrs hunting them, and only seen two, one too small to shoot, and one big one but ran at the farmers house not giving me a safe shot!
it was a 2.5 day coyote contest, has 36 grand in the pot too!
so didn't get to kill a one!
there sure smart critters if my eye's
