He said, My observations during the study dispelled some preconceived ideas 1 had held. Tracks in the snow indicated that nearly all kills were made single coyotes, not a pack of coyotes as I had supposed. In most cases there was little or no sign of a chase, less then ten yards, not a long chase through crusted snow. Contrary to a by that bad and perhaps does more good than harm by controlling rodent populations. A study of coyote predation on deer herds, made my Utah State University researchers, throws some light on the matter. The study was made by Dr. Darwin B. Nielsen of one deer wintering area in Cache County and convinced him that coyote predation is a significant factor affecting deer populations. During the period December 7 to March 15, 1975, Dr. Nielsen made 11 trips to the deer wintering area just south and east of the Hardware Ranch, most of it by snowmobile. Magpies and bald eagles concentrated at a particular spot proved to be the most effective means of finding the deer remains. He located and investigated 31 dead deer, taking photos of each and checking for tracks, blood, hair and coyote droppings. He also skinned the head and neck area to observe fang holes in the hide and note evidence of tissue damage and bleeding in the neck area. From fresh kills he observed that the coyote usually only eats a small portion of each deer it kills. It chews through the rib cage and eats the heart, liver and other viscera in the body cavity. Then the birds quickly general belief, severe winter and starved physical condition were not major factors in the coyotes ability to take deer since the winter up to March was not severe. The first deer found were in coyote-killesnow depth of about seven inches and the deer just entering the winter period were in good physical condition. Some carcasses bearing the telltale throat fang marks were found in relatively deep snow and some out on open ridges where the snow was all Library Note New carpeting in the down- stairs of the Ephraim delightful place for a small group or committee gatherings, Mrs. Hazel White, the li- brarian, has announced.

Nielsen explained that the study was conducted to answer two questions: Can dead deer be located in winter time and can the cause of death be verified? The answer to both, he says, is yes. But he quickly points out that more detailed study over a wider area is required to really answer the question of just how significant winter coyote predation is on deer herd populations in Utah. area Public Library makes it a Halloween Carnivals Dated at Schools Enthusiast by Peter Salinger, Return to Daytona by W.E.
