My experience is that, although it is true that a gang of coyotes can and do pull down deer (and even the occasional heifer) it doesn't happen nearly often enough to have a real effect on populations. Unfortunately the stories get told over and over so it sounds like they're the Big Bad Wolf.
It's my understanding that in my home province, vehicles kill as many deer each year as the hunters do in hunting season. That total is WAY more than get pulled down by coyotes.
