Probably not. Coyotes are roughly the size of German shepherds, only not as heavy. An adult deer is a formidable opponent. It is unlikely that a coyote would try it, unless the deer was immature or very sick. Coyotes live on rabbits and smaller game, such as birds, for the most part, unless they are hunting in a pack. A pack can take and kill deer, and have been known to take elk -- typically by running them to exhaustion in deep snow.

∙ 14y agoWhen hunting small prey like mice, the coyote will stand still with its legs stiff and then pounce on its prey. When hunting larger prey like deer, coyotes hunt in packs. One or more coyote will chase the deer while the others wait, then the next group will pick up the chase. Working in teams like this, the coyote can tire the deer out, making it easier to kill. Coyotes also often follow badgers and catch prey that pop out of burrows the badger is digging.

∙ 12y agoOne coyote is not enough to kill a deer, especially a buck elk on the rut, but two or three could kill a deer. A coyote can only kill a young deer or an unguarded fawn. However, one wolf is enough to kill such a deer because wolves are more skilled in fighting and have bigger size advantage.

∙ 10y agoOnly in extreme conditions, but they could kill a coyote, as they have even been known to kill wolves.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes indeed. Depending on the area and the size of the coyotes themselves, some coyotes will actively hunt and kill deer similar to wolves, if they won't go after livestock.

What is the coyote?
Coyotes raid the goose nests, taking as many as 20 eggs from a group of nest in a single evening. They then dig caches, or hiding spots, nearby to store the eggs. Coyotes return later to eat the eggs, sometimes as many as three weeks after they were cached. As deer populations grow in the Chicago region, coyotes have been taking advantage of deer fawns as a food source. Coyotes almost always hunt alone or in pairs, and cannot kill a healthy adult deer. Although coyotes will feed upon the remains of deer, adult deer are usually not killed by coyotes unless injured. Coyotes, like other wildlife, also take advantage of food that people leave out, such as messy garbage cans, bird seed and even cat and dog food left out for pets. Coyotes will also eat feral and free‐roaming cats. The only way to keep your cat safe from coyotes is to keep it indoors.
