f*cking coyotes. Poor guy, could have been a stud in a few years.

This has to be one of the worst ways to die. He was out on the ice sliding around with no way to get away. They dragged him back into the brush on the edge of the swamp.

Edit: This was fresh, last night probably, blood was still in pools by him. Also if a graphic warning is needed in the title for blood, I'll edit.

Mother Nature is a bitch sometimes, but the deer population isn't exactly dwindling.

Unless they are eating/damaging peoples live stock/property, I don't really care about them.

Coyotes cull the weak and the stupid.

But, being a country person I love them.  They make great active targets

I know just unfortunate this is the third button head on this property this year. Buddy messed up on one, one was hit by a car. Three in a year isn't great for that generation. I'm no trophy hunter, but this guy does manage this property well. I don't get invited to hunt it much, but help out creating better habitat and just having a good time outside is always fun. We saw close to 200 driving back home this evening. Some of the biggest groups I've seen in Michigan that was neat.

Thats how the worthless fuckers do it around here also, they hound them in the woods and swamps until the deer finally come out on the lakes, esp if the lake dont have much snowcover, the deer lose there 4-wheel drive, cant fight , spin out when they try to run then fall and cant get up, some have there guts hanging out by the time they get out of the woods,, i shoot and or wound everyone of the fucking bastards  i see, and dogs too.

The coyotes around here are about 50lbs,  I hear them in my neighbors field when his cows have calves, followed by gunshots.

love coyote.  fucking deer and mice around here can kiss my ass.  Their numbers are plentiful.  The more healthy coyote, mountain lion, bobcat, and fox,  the better.  Don't be a city boy that moves to the sticks and says "their comin right for us" until you get a chance to sit back and watch Mother nature do its thing, its beautiful to hear them howl nightly and I enjoy seeing all predators do their thing.  I have endless trail cam footage.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.

If there a "pest" then so are city folk, (spit and wipe mouth)

*edit

by the way yotes around here tend to scatter the animal parts around the pack in a 40-50 foot radius.  You sure its not aliens or Jackelope?    That pic is suspicious to me, my house dog would tear that deer up more then that.

My company has a huge mine which we have under MLE.  Our biologist and mine guy have a number of studies about coyotes - they actually don't eat many deer.  Generally only the sick and wounded and very few fawns.  

Their primary diet is, not surprisingly, rats and rabbits when not trying to steal something else's kill.

They still have a tendency to fall over when their in my line of sight, but I can't use the "they eat the deer" excuse since it's actually pretty rare.

I was reading a recent study from the MI UP on this the other day too. Although I'd agree the amount of nearly grown and grown deer they take down is probably pretty minimal, I think they still have a hay day with fawns. The last two winters have been hell for deer in MI and the population is way down IMO. The UP deer herd is nothing now. I don't hunt up there, but it's rough for those who do. This is the first I've personally seen of them doing their thing. It's most definitely the work of yotes from the tracks in the fresh snow. I've only seen one in person and couldn't get my bow up and drawn quick enough to take a shot. To the guys who are whine about hitting them with their cars: Yea it blows (knock on wood haven't done it) for you but as a hunter this type of death just sickens me. Yes, it's all nature, and I know that. Getting smoked by a car/truck usually results in a pretty quick death. Getting your guts ripped out (spots in the snow on the ice indicate this not in the pic) and still being alive as a yote rips your underside open while another has a hold of your neck, while his buddy chows down on your hind end would be terrible.

I've read about this in hunting magazines.  Apparently deer slipping on iced over lakes and ponds is a serious problem.  They slip and break a leg or something else and can't get back up and end up dying.

Nature is cruel.

Wrong, they may be closely related but they are not the same species as domesticated dogs.
Understanding it is near impossible to convince or change a person's attitude towards any specific animal, I can tell you that Coyotes are a huge threat to our local upland game population.
An argument usually held between the "student" and the "hunter", those of us that farm and hunt have seen first hand the decline and destruction of fawns, upland game and the occasional neighbors dog. Coyotes have the privilege of a biological niche in the circle of life and have no predators yet, they reproduce like inner city families living on the Gov't tit. They also are carriers of distemper, parvovirus, and mange with the occasional hepatitis. I have a friend that shoots on a Gov't contract from a helo a few times a month and he, I and all our buddies could trap and shoot all day, not making a dent in the population.
No matter what study you read, no matter what your position, there is no denying first hand experience. I often carry those cans of  home bug spray that you pop the top and leave while it sprays bugs in your home. I use them when I pile up the "dogs" under a tarp to kill the fleas and worms before I remove the hide to tan and prep for sale. I litterally have been covered almost black from head to toe in fleas and have gotten bent over puking sick for days from the bites.
There is no argument that the circle of life has been disrupted by farms. Trump Towers and asphalt in this world but, we have to do what we do to preserve the most important resources to us and a wild disgusting dogis not as important to the wildlife it destroys.
Be Well.

Coyotes are so inhumane. They don't kill quickly, they cause unnecessary suffering to their victims, and frankly, they should feel ashamed. Why don't they buy their meat at the grocery store like everyone else and leave the poor defenseless animals in the forest alone?

Yeah, OP prolly should throw in a "graphic" title...

Mum hates rabbits, as they chew up her flower garden.  'Yotes are fucking supernatural at occasionally coming thru and knocking the population down to nothing; last time I was up at her place, I didn't even see any little bunny footprints in the snow.

Kinda sux for me, since I like shooting bunnies with my .22, but Mom is happy.
