[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 775273, member: 7645"] Wolves are big enough to take deer yes, but down here there are few IF ANY wolves. The primary predator of deer (especially fawns) here is coyotes. Red Foxes WOULD hunt deer if they were big enough to do so. They are too small to make a living hunting white tails. The bigger the deer the smaller the threat from coyotes. Now granted if the urban wolf advocates get their way that could change. Right now a 200 lb buck has very little too fear in an Alabama pasture other than from hunters or traffic as there are NO wolves, no mountain lions, no grizzly bears, and very very few black bears. You also have comparatively FEW deer. We have a herd of 1.8 million. Montana (which is over ten times our size) only has 249,000. I see a deer (or 40) every single day just riding around on business and errands. Even adding in the elk, mule deer, and moose population Alabama has more deer than Montana. Here is the deer density map. [url=http://www.deerhunting.ws/densitymap.htm#]http://www.deerhunting.ws/densitymap.htm#[/url] IF Montana had our population density of white tail deer (especially given your winter) I maintain that your deer would be as small as our own, if we killed all the big predators.
