They don’t need deep snow. Coyotes will take a deer anytime they want to, and not just sick, young, or injured. I’ve seen perfectly healthy mature buck deer at dusk reduced to nothing but ears/nose/antlers by daybreak.
Ben,
Great observations. I’ll take it a step further and say hunting is WAY more than recreation.
It is part of mankind’s responsibility to manage wildlife responsibly, and have something worthy of being passed down to future generations.

The other thing that MSG permits should be is nice in a lifetime.
