Deer and small game.....but right now

coyotes are at the top of my list. I’ve seen a significant drop in the number of deer on our farm here in PA this year and several of the neighboring farms are seeing the same thing. Last week one of the neighbors saw a young deer being chased by a coyote late in the evening while he was archery hunting. Yesterday I watched a young buck walking along the edge of our woods and about 15 minutes later a coyote was on his trail. Too far for me to stick an arrow in. My oldest son shot a female coyote last week and set up a trap line this week. I just pulled my old .22-250 Ackley Improved out of the safe and plan on doing my part to thin out the coyote population around our place....the other farmers and their kids are going to do likewise.
