They will take fawns and run down older/sick/wounded deer, but can't do
anything with healthy adults. A friend nearby who raises chickens shot a
lone coyote that weighed in at 45 lbs, which is very unusual. He sent a
picture, and it wasn't a coydog either. Here in the east, the coyotes
will "yip" at night, not howl.
As far as fox, most of the ones around here got wiped out during a
rabies epizootic, but they are coming back now. A lot of them have
mange, which is why the local fox hunt types won't let their hounds
anywhere near them - they send out a guy dragging a "fox scent" bag the
day before and let the hounds chase that. Strange people.
