Preying on the predators

[The Architect Of Fate]

To the argument that hunting funds conservation, as well as the idea deer, have to be culled. I beg the differ. But remember everyone who disagrees with culls is just an animal activist who wants all the deer to die

This thread actually has people defending Coyotes...

There is another leg in the coyote-deer-? interaction that nobody has mentioned, ticks.

When deer populations get to large not only do coyote populations increase but so do tick populations and eventually they will start having an adverse reaction to the general health of the deer as well as increased incidents of Lyme Disease and many other diseases. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/...eases.html

I've learned that hunting is one of the greatest supporters of well controlled populations. Even legal trophy hunters select their prey very carefully and the money they spend furthers the survivability of the population they are hunting from. It is very counter-intuitive but true non-the-less.

The idea that culls reduce  Lyme Disease  is dubious
