Attended the annual Ames banquet last night and they went over all the research they had been working on the last two years. They have done capture and collar studies including placing vaginal inserts in pregnant does to determine when they give birth to help in determining fawn recruitment.
One of the findings that shocked me was that a full 1/3 of the collared does did not survive more than a few months. I asked had they done necropsies on them and they had if there were any remains. Most if not almost all had died from canine attacks. One had died from pneumonia.
I realize it's hard to reduce any coyote population but it sure makes sense to try!
