Whitetail deer fawns dont 'escape' predators, they hide from them. Its funny where u have elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorns, and sheep in goats living in the same area to watch each ones different response to predators. Mule deer keep their fawns seperate, whitetails keep theirs together. Every animal lives where it does as a response to wolves. Whitetail deer did not evolve with coyotes so their method can be fatal. However where there are plenty of deer and most important plenty of cover, coyotes are not a serious problem. Like Mike said its hard for me to hate an animal thats just trying to survive.
Hunt R, Pretty good way of thinking about that. I guess they're just doing their job and what their instincts and evolution has brought them to. Ours has brought us to the top of the food chain though, and them suckers will have a little harder fight now....(but I still can't mess up a good deer hunt to whack one.) But let one come by on a slow day with an itchy trigger finger!... New green peace slogan: 'eat more yote!' :)
Pretty cool video. Not something you see everyday. I saw a video of a really nice buck being killed by coyotes. I knew coyotes eat deer from time to time but never realized two yotes could take down a buck in his prime.
I have shot coyotes before and I am sure your video will prompt people to hate yotes even more than they already do.
I on the other hand don't HATE them. I enjoy seeing wildlife when I am hunting and I like hunting wild animals and not domesticiated one! Stuff like this is suppose to happen in the wild.
What amazes me is if a two coyotes can run down and kill a full grown buck then I think it is amazing that coyotes don't eat ever single fawn. Obviously they don't.
