Multiple proximate and ultimate causes of natal dispersal in white-tailed deer (2008, unknown): “Although black bear and coyote predation of neonatal deer is common in Pennsylvania (Vreeland et al. 2004), we observed no predation of juvenile or adult deer ( 7 months) in either study area; however, extensive hunting of both sexes of deer occurred throughout both areas.”
Can Coyotes Affect Deer Populations in Southeastern North America? (2010, background): “Ample evidence exists in the literature demonstrating that coyote predation on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), particularly neonatal fawns, can be high (e.g., Cook et al. 1971, Bartush and Lewis 1981, Whittaker and Lindzey 1999, Vreeland et al. 2004).”
FOREST COVER INFLUENCES DISPERSAL DISTANCE OF WHITE-TAILED DEER (2005, methodology): “Except for individuals tagged as neonates, which were captured between May and June (Vreeland et al. 2004), all juvenile bucks were captured between late December and early April.”
