Statewide I think Minnesota had it's largest harvest ever, over 200,000 if I remember right. In the county where I hunt most hunters had the very worst year in memory, not near as many deer taken or even seen. Everyone has a different theory, but there have been hundreds of coyotes killed in our county this winter where 10 years ago there was just a few and it was in the newspaper if one was taken. Us armchair biologists believe the coyotes have taken a toll on the local population.
