coyote eating fawns

[bigbrother]

I absolutely believe they know that a deer is close to dropping fawns. A friend of mine who is a beef rancher in Nebraska sees them all the time following his pregnant cows. Also, I've read about the same thing happening with other animal types such as hyenas or cheetah's in africa. It's a shame. The old timers got rid of them from here for a reason, just like the wolves.

I watched just this week three coyotes skulking up on a young calf in a field in broad daylight. I've not doubt they were after the calf. They ran off when I circled my jeep around and pulled up next to the fence. We've got more coyotes than you can shake a stick at here in northern arkansas.
