Too many Idaho Coyotes

Coyotes in Idaho

A recent newspaper article, from the Boise area, stated that the Idaho Game and Fish now estimates state-wide coyote numbers to be around 50,000. Is it any wonder that Idaho has so few mule deer? Idaho mule deer will need to look both ways – twice, before lowering their heads to eat or drink.

Never mind lions, wolves, and bears.

Maybe the wolves will kill the coyotes. I don’t think the mule deer will win, either way.
