Is it possible that the deer was sickly and was trying to hide under the deck and the coyote happened across an easy meal? I know for a fact that animals do venture under camps during the winter.

So, one neighbor saw a coyote twice last year and two have heard it howl, this year!
Guess it is a coyote!!!

In my opinion that's exactly what happened. It very easly could of been wounded and chased under the camp. The last thing you want to do after hunting and wounding a deer is start after it right away. Best to wait awhile if it was wounded bad enough it will bed down somewhere and die there.

Well, I was on my deck around 11:00 pm last Friday night and heard several "howls". Had 4 other guy's come out of the house to hear the sound and we all agreed that it had to be a coyote. I am on the southern side of the island and it sounded pretty close.
It sounded as though there was only one and we heard no "return" howls.
Keep a close eye on your pets. Coyote's will eat just about anything.
