You would think after 14 years it would have helped if it was going too.

$200,000 has just been approved for a coyote bounty program aimed at helping mule deer survive. Utah doubled its payout to as much as $100 per coyote in key mule deer habitat, and the program received so many submissions that it needed additional funding to keep paying hunters and trappers.
Since the program began in 2012, Utah has already paid out more than $4 million for nearly 82,000 coyotes. State officials believe concentrated coyote removal around fawning areas can improve fawn survival, but the big question remains. After spending millions and removing tens of thousands of coyotes, has it actually increased the mule deer population statewide?

I'm surprised that they didn't add mountain lions and bobcats to the list as both will hunt deer when given the chance .

I've caught some awful big tom bobcats after the mule deer came back into the area I was trapping in . Your results may vary .

I believe a study found that to reduce the coyote population you have to take out 70+% of the coyotes every year for 5 years. Miss a year and they rebound.

There are bounties for lions in specific units.
