Do you believe this

[Walker]

I don't. There wouldn't be any fawn survival at all in S Texas.

[Hills of Texas]

It wouldn’t surprise me. Coyotes and bobcats kill a ton of fawns every year.

[Killer]

Who and were was the studies? I could believe it. They kill grown deer. They definitely going to kill any fawns they come across.

[BrandonA]

Very skeptical of those numbers

[Twist]

I have my doubts. If that average is accurate, we wouldn't have any deer at our place due to the amount of coyotes running around.

[Dusty Britches]

I don't know about "19 fawns" but I have read that coyotes and bobcats will kill 80-85% of an annual fawn crop.

[Hills of Texas]

It’s going to be regional. Around here the deer are so prevalent the number could be even higher. Deer out number the coyotes by a long shot. Plus, there’s a lot of fawns that die from everything from fire ants to hawks and owls that coyotes find and eat on as well. Big mature bobcats will focus in on fawns this time of year too.

[Texas452]

Yes
If we have a30% fawn crop we are doing good.

[Sippy]

No chance.

[Sackett]

I would believe it in certain areas where deer density is high. There’s a reason populations get out of control when there are no predators, be it Human or Animal. There is a balance and the scales can be tipped either way if predator numbers are too high or low.

I don’t believe you can apply that graph/pictorial across the board, though. In our area in Sutton County, I’ve only seen and heard one coyote in 5 years.

[Man]

What studies?

[frios]

Fake news.

Don't know how they come up with the numbers but I do know Kyle should kill him just to kill him not to eat them I found four in the bedding area this year, just killed them , didn't eat them

[Drycreek3189]

I don’t know about those numbers, but I know coyotes or something kills many of “my” fawns. I see them on camera in the spring then they aren’t around in the fall. Pretty simple.

[WItoTX]

If denning season is December through March, there are not many fawns around at least until March, but typically a lot later.

But back home, I bet that number is way higher than 19 from April to June. But I get the concept of the meme.
