Controlled studies have show that Coyote predation takes up to 70% of the fawn crop each year. I have seen trail pics of Bobtail carrying day old fawns by their throat .
I understand. But my question is: Is that how it's supposed to be? if those predators weren't killing 70% of the fawns, would the deer become overpopulated? Nature is harsh after all, per RAH. But isn't this just a culling? And if we shoot the bobcats and the coyotes, would the deer population get out of control, just like removing too many LMB from a bluegill pond?
