they hurt deer, especially in the first few weeks of life and n deer that are already injured or dying. but could not kill in a cold blood a healthy adult of either sex.

"I will predator hunt for food "
Last year on opening day of rifle season, I watched a pack of 6 attacking a nice 1.5 yr old 6 pt that I had watched several times during ML season. That morning he had a fresh tear across his back and the pack cornered and encircled him twice before they finally ran out of my field. I wish I had opened fire. But that was proof to me that coyotes will in fact go after a healthy deer and do it coordinated with others.
