when you plant a food plot you make food for all critters
its just the way nature works
I would stick with them, all things have to eat every day
My one farm, I would have a 100+ deer in fields and had a TON of coyotes, some days would see 5-6 at a time cruising edges
had high deer numbers there for 20+ yrs, couldn't kill enough deert to bring numbers down, I never shot a coyote there either, I WANTED There help!
in all my yrs there I never seen a coyote go after a deer, cannot count HOW many times I seen both species eating in food plots a few ft from each other and ignoring each other?
was a crazy place
never seen that in other area's
but I think it comes down to food, they had more food and little hunting pressure
1500 acre's of NO hunting surrounded me on 3 sides, other than trespassers sneaking in, the deer numbers went nuts high
and all the cheaters(trespassers ever shot were bucks, making matters worse)
but I hunt a lot of places that have high coyote numbers and still see and get great deer
