Interesting. Coyotes have returned to NE Ohio in the last twenty-thirty years, absent the former wolf population. But I have not heard of deer being taken down by them, though we are infested with deer. They seem to thrive on smaller prey, including cats and dogs.

One note, coyotes are scarce this year, and speculation is that they may have been subject to an outbreak of parvo, possibly passed to them by domestic dogs.

Nobody is sad though, as coyotes are nasty and have no redeeming virtues. Ohio has open season on them all year.

They don’t control the rabbits where we live so they (the coyotes) breed like rabbits and some have attacked people... I wish coyote pelts were worth something again, the problem would go away, stupid PETA.

I saw one yesterday off hwy 460 near the Virginia Tech farm. VT is putting donkeys in the sheep pastures now because of them.
