80 fawns killed by one pair of coyotes to support a single litter deserves a little math. Over what period of time were they fed to how many pups? How many pounds of meat were consumed by this one family? Why did this clutch stay in just one den when most move around? I eliminate coyotes due to their numbers and adverse effects on deer, but 80 fawns by one pair and pups seems unbelievable.
RAH, I read the same article, I just can't remember where, but it was a true situation. And if the fawns are young they are not that large and might only feed one or two pups.
I wish I could remember where I read it or saw it. Maybe growing deer TV, QDMA?
