They also kill large deer and moose.
Many have not seen what a coyote will do to a large deer or moose. They will not kill the animal but prefer run it down, wear it out then take chunks off of the animal until it dies, in essence eating it to death. Yes pretty gory details but 100% the truth. We have witnessed this fist hand while riding our snowmobiles and it is something I will never forget. The deer actually ran up to us and stood by us as the pack waited just beyond the lights of our snowmobiles, we had no choice but to ride away leaving it to its fate.
Coyotes are multiplying and have been taking a toll on the deer and Moose populations of both NH and ME for many years now.
Just this week they have been on the news down in Mass.
2 years ago a hunter was checking his bear bait located on our property. He was attacked by 2 coyotes who did not want him near the bait. He got a bullet into both. Not sure weather they lived or not. Hopefully they suffered.
