Coyotes have a fairly large range of a couple square miles. If you just own 50-300 acres or so I don’t think you are going to have any major changes to their breeding habits as that’s just a small portion of their range. I do think you can help to protect your own game.
If you want game you arr basically competing with the coyotes. They are 20-40 year old dogs, they have to eat something to survive. A lot of it is road kill and what not sure, but they will eat plenty of game too I have them come in when turkey hunting about once a year or so. Depends on where I’m hunting but I’ve had them come in often.
As said yes they generally will eat a lot of fawns.

Bottom line, if they are eating a lot of fawns, they’re doing you a favor. Deer evolved to have concentrated breeding dates such that all the young are born in a short timeframe such that predators can’t threaten that many. Even neglecting habitat which some just have no means to change, if age structure, sex ratio, and density aren’t managed then breeding gets spaced out feeding the coyotes a steady trickle of fawns. So either manage deer density or the coyotes will do it for you.

I assume the two I saw today were a breeding pair so my question is this.

Coyotes have one breeding cycle per year. They can first breed when they are 10 months old. Breeding occurs in late winter and following a 63-day gestation period, 4 to 6 pups are born.

I shoot them when I get a chance to but I dont think they really hurt much. Wild dogs on the other hand I think are a major tremendous problem, and you can effectively do something about those.
Interesting comment about wild dogs. Plz share more. In addition, is there any distinction between truly wild/feral dogs vs a house dog that's basically free ranging??

we get several pictures of coyotes with new born or very young fawns every year - kill as many as you can

They're hard on livestock for one thing. A pack of wild dogs, in my opinion, will kill things just because they can. I know of them killing calves and not eating them or anything. They're bigger than coyotes and far more active 24/7. We got infested with wild dogs one year, mostly feral ones. They would cover a thousand acres in 24 hours as evidenced by trail cameras. We were able to kill most of them and the rest seemed to have got the message.

Yea. I don't know to define it exactly, but they look different. Some of them were obviously wild for significantly longer than the others. They were extremely shaggy. Ugly arse animals. I don't hate coyotes. I hate feral dogs.
