Coyotes also attack does while birthing. They have been known to drag a half-born fawn out of a doe. University of TN did a lot of coyote studies through their Ag Dept. In the eary 1990s, I was bowhunting for deer in Grand Junction TN, using a fawn distress call. I ended up being stalked upon by a yote and I arrowed him at 25 yards. I turned him over to UT Ag Dept so they could do research on him. (Autopsy to see what he had been eating). That next year, we did a Yote study at Ames Plantation, putting Glitter in Deer gutpilez to see if the yotes were actually eating gut piles or actively preying on deer. It was fun!
