Give 'em a few months. In the areas I hunt there are tons of hogs and coyotes. The coyotes eat a lot of pigs but they can't keep up with the reproductive power of a wild hog. I see sows with 10 or 12 pigs in a litter and then a few weeks later they'll be down to 3 or 4 and that seems to be about the average survival rate. They do however take a real toll on the whitetail fawns. It seems that 1 out of 5 or 6 does will raise a fawn. The only thing that really whacks the coyotes here is mange. It will come through every five or six years and bring their numbers way down but it only takes them a couple of years to completely rebound.
