My first duty station as a young Trooper was the Quabin reservoir. This is the largest unfiltered fresh water drinking supply in the world, supplying metropolitan Boston. The Quabin is app 25,000 acres of water surrounded by 81,000 acres of land. The barracks overlooks the reservoir and you can see about 8-10 miles out. Every winter when the ice was frozen, coyotes would chase deer onto the ice and attack them. This was repeated 3-5 times a month until ice out in clear view of the barracks. I have read many times coyotes don't hunt in packs. I have seen it, with packs numbering over a dozen (largest one over 20-can't give you an accurate number because the don't stand still long enough). I have also read many times coyotes do not take healthy deer. Again, I have seen it. It (like the slide show) is sickening to watch. Coyotes surround the deer and keep harassing it. Always going in from the back. When the deer goes down, they all rush to the back end. Watching coyotes pull the intestines out of a live deer will leave a scar on you. The only good thing is nothing goes to waste. The few I took the snow machine out to investigate, by the next day, the only thing left was the spine and hide frozen to the ice. I have also heard that a deer that falls on the ice cannot get back up. Not true. I understand this is nature, I just don't like it. (Don't care much for taxes either).
