Wish we could hunt them in the spring and summer when all the young polts and fawns are at their most vulnerable. Also might make it easier to call them in since yotes are probably looking for young deer, high pitched fawn call could really work well during the summer. Oh well.

In recent years, there have been several studies conducted by wildlife biologists over fawn mortality rates caused by natural predation. Many experts believe that whitetail fawns account for nearly 80 percent of a coyote's diet during the late spring and summer months in some areas.

A few years ago they attacked a small dog in Cranford....I beleive the police eventually wound up killing the coyote.....the whole story was kept quiet.....
