coyote strength

Who here believes that a coyote can single handedly take down a fully mature deer by itself?

Yes, that is very true, antelope and deer, but its funny how it doesnt stand a chance against a badger. lol

I seen it happen myself back in Northern NY state the biggest coyote I ever seen(they get pretty big back east in the north). I was bow hunting and up 17 feet in a tree over looking a field and some timber and saw a coyote take down a full size doe it took him a while to kill her but he took her down several times it was quite a sight.

Yes I have seen a video clip of one taking down a spike buck but the hunters saved it. I posted this because many people think that a single coyote is not capable of doing this to a healthy mature deer. I was out hiking yesterday and came upon this. Notice that he was a buck.

I noticed that coyote tracks were all around. The deer was still warm and I knew the killer had to be close. I took note of the tracks and look where they led. Unfortunatly I didnt have a gun.

I figure the kill had happened just minutes before I had gotten there. Next time I go out I am going to pack my rifle and get rid of a few deer killers.

In deep snow with a crust the Yotes have the advantage and will kill for the choice parts. Kill a coyote and save many deer.
