Coyotes Immigrants Hurt Native Deer

South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources wants to save the deer, but with less coyotes around who will control the deer population?
"Coyotes were illegally imported into South Carolina for hound running. SCDNR and Federal law enforcement has and will continue to prosecute for this activity."
Another instance where non-native species are disrupting the balance of nature.
