    I've seen a noticeable increase in the coyote population where I hunt since 2000. Pretty cool the place I hunt is in the article...

    "But it’s not consistent across the South, either. A 2008-2011 study on northern Virginia’s Quantico Marine Corps base found 60 percent of fawns lived past three months, and more died of natural causes, 53 percent, than predation, 18 percent."
