There is also coyotes on the Pennisula, seems pretty odd to me. I have seen them off of Godfrey when fishing on the lake when it has froze. I hunted the presque isle deer hunt, and we were informed under no circumstance do we shoot a coyote???? Why not everyone else in state is worried about them killing all the young deer? From what I have read it sounds like bear get even more young deer then coyotes. I just wonder how a bear made it on to the Pennisula???? I wonder if the coyotes walked on there themselves as well. The game commission could very easily have stocked them to help thin the deer herd out there, I am not buying a bear walked onto the pennisula for one minute. Sounds fishy to me?? When I was there for their slug gun hunt they stopped just short of begging for people to please harvest a doe if they had a tag, and they also are giving out D-map tags for hunting out there as well as your 1b doe tag being acceptable to use to tag a doe as well. They claim the pennisula can only support 12 deer, and the current total was 52 before hunting season. They went into detail about how too many deer can be harmful to the ecosystem. I have seen two bald eagles out there as well a few different times. I watched them all day about a month ago flying all around. Mostly I have seen them by Perrys Monument area. I guess anythings possible but knowing how eager they were to want like every deer dead, it really makes me wonder how that bear got there. Anyone tell me where all these coyotes came from in our state, wasnt a problem 10 years ago
