Mike, they did that study in the mid- 90's, correct? That was when seeing a coyote was still a novelty. I would venture to say fawn mortality is far higher than 1 in 3 today!
Could you kill these?

What a shame. People letting dogs run can be just as bad as coyotes. Cats running feral do a bunch of damage as well. Multiple issues working at the wildlife.

If the deer population is still above the ODNR target, according to their numbers, there is no problem from coyote predation.
If and when the populations drops below their target it should at that time become more of a concern to them. Today, I'm guessing, that the coyote is just another population management
tool.
Short of a bounty I don't know what they could enact that would have any more impact on the coyote population that what they allow today. They allow them to be killed, 24/7, day or night, rifles, snares, traps, etc, etc.
What would anyone have them put in place to further control coyote predation?
Yep dogs running around wild are almost as much of a nuisance to me as a coyote, first time I see them, the owner gets a warning, 2nd time I see them...... well let's just say there usually isn't a third time.

Same here. But down in Vinton county they don't even get a second time. There are no neighbors for miles so the dogs are ones people dropped off on the gravel rd. Had a buddy get cornered by 4 at his truck one day. They didn't plan on his smith 9mm.

Keywords "to them" not "to hunters". And we know where their loyalty has been as of late.

Why not reintroduce the wolverine? It used to be a native species...Plus, they've got a real bad attitude and could easily handle a coyote. :smiley_chinrub:Lundy said:
Imagine a healthy wolverine population running around the state...Wow! People would be afraid to walk to the mailbox, without their rifle. :smiley_crocodile: Yep...that's what we need...something to make the tree huggin' bunny lovers think twice before taking a stroll down the trail.

Maybe I should clarify: I do not see any other way to reduce outside of a bounty. Coyote kill options are about as open as they can be. Secondly, I do not agree with the deer numbers or population totals used by the ODNR. I simply agree they are allowing the coyotes to assist as a population control measure.
Great idea BH57! Then we could introduce more bears and wolves. Then we could allow hunting deer 24/7 365. Then the wolf and bear lovers can stop any proposed hunting of them as they overpopulate. Next we could watch our dogs, and kids being harassed in our lawns and on the playgrounds by bears, coyotes, wolves, wolverines, and some weird guy in a panel van passing out candy. lol
Yea,im ready to kill some yotes!Holy Crap!!

I couldn't keep track of them to count them all. I got a minimum of 6 in that video. Was there 7 or 8? Crazy! Good luck MandR.
Man what county is this in????? That seems excessive doesn't it???? Would that be more than one yotes litter?
Delaware county.I saw on the news that Delaware was the worse county for yotes.I do believe it was a couple litters.I need to get out there and take a few out soon...should I use gun or Mabey traps?

Gun would be more fun but traps would get the job done better IMHO..... You can only be there so long and the traps will be there 24/7....
I have never used traps,can I get some tips or anything to get me started?
