Ok SS, since once again you are enjoying yet another nit picking argument with me, I can waste part of my morning trying to make you understand why there are color labels on crayons.
Although I cannot answer your demand directly, simple math easily tells the story.
I can Google this "common sense biological fact" the damage yotes have on our big game, especially fawn recruitment, but I'll entertain you with what I found with 2 simple seperate clicks.
Although I don't have an estimated number of coyote population, it doesn't take a scholar to say there is a higher number of coyotes than there are hunters.
Nor it doesn't take a math teacher to figure out that coyotes never stop pursuing "big game" 24/7, 365 days a year, whereas hunters pursue for less than 3 months total time per year.
Having said that SS, the crayon that says "red" on it in the box, is really red.
"Surviving and Thriving
Even so, deer and other prey species evolved alongside predators like bears, wolves and coyotes. And given large areas of good habitat, they thrive despite them. Surviving starts with “predator swamping,” which refers to the fact that deer, moose, pronghorns and other prey drop their young about the same time, thus “swamping” the landscape with more fast-growing prey than predators can target while fawns and calves are most vulnerable.
Some unique situations, however, can leave pronghorns—and mule deer, to a lesser extent—vulnerable. Jim Heffelfinger, a wildlife science coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department and research scientist at the University of Arizona, said small, isolated pronghorn herds in a valley between mountain ranges could “blink out” from sustained predation. To prevent it, the wildlife agency sometimes conducts aerial coyote shoots, which are most effective in wet years.
Still, even if we believe coyotes can drive deer herds to unhuntable levels, can we do anything to permanently remove or neutralize this native predator, which many hunters deem a four-legged poacher?"
"In yet another study, Sarah Saalfeld[7], a student of Auburn University, under the direction of Dr. Stephen Dithckoff, found coyotes impacted deer in an urban environment the same as in the wild, contradictory to the expectation that cars would be the highest cause of mortality. Coyotes killed 67% of the fawns in an urban environment just as in rural environments.
It appears coyotes negatively influence deer populations. The elimination of coyotes have been known to double the survival of fawns. The removal of predators, especially coyotes can significantly increase the deer population."
I can find this crap all day long and so can you......
