Effect dog trackers have on nature?

[JerseyJaysTaxidermy]

Seeing so many dog trackers recovering so many animals nowadays I wonder what effect it might have on nature?

 

All these deer in years past would have been eaten by other critters.. predators and scavengers.

 

Now they are being found and utilized which is great, but does that mean coyotes need to kill more live deer because they are not finding enough to scavenge from?

 

I understand there are still a high % not getting a dog tracker.. but as time goes on and more and more deer get found after the shot will that affect the other animals?

 

I guess not terribly, as there are still tons of road kills available..

 

Any thoughts?

I wish the recovered deer had an impact on the coyote population.  But it won't.

I don't think that dog trackers that are locating deer that hunters have shot has any effect on the ecosystem.

How many more animals are recovered to make a difference? I am not sure its a statistically significant number when you consider over 50K shot every year,

I know what he's going through,  when my kids were tiny and woke in the middle of the night for food or dipper change then refused to go back to sleep.  

I started drinking earlier too.

I think you are giving this too much thought. 

But I do think your odds of stepping in dog shit while hunting has greatly increased

No worries, coyotes been eating well since rages came out

I  get a chuckle every time  I hear "it's a shame it went to waste" Does it suck? yes... but in reality nothing goes to waste in the wild. One predators misfortune is another predators/ scavengers fortune

Jay as long as guys still shooting RAGE there will still be plenty of lost deer to feed scavengers. Sleep easy my brother!

I don't think it will effect nature in any way at all however, it probably will effect your wallet a little 

You bet! I'm all for it lol.
