If you read about the affects of reintroducing wolves at Yellowstone,
the outcome was largely positive for the whole area. The area was
dominated by Elk. Wolves keep the elk under control and provide a
consistent supply of carrion for scavengers. Controlling the elk
allowed more trees and brush to grow, which is good for birds and
beavers. More beavers means more dams, which is good for fish, flood
control, and leveling out the seasonal changes in the water table. With
wolves at the top of the pile instead of elk, the whole system seems to
be stronger.
How do we get on these tangents though?

And then when the wolf population gets too high, you have to introduce
bears into the area. After that? Landsharks.

If you kill one or more coyotes, when they take "call" at night, there
is suspicion that the lower number of calls can actually trigger the
females into having larger litters.
If you want to reduce coyote populations you have to balance the
ecosystem by introducing wolves into the area...

Most likely take more than 3, but what coyotes do is
work as a group. Several will chase the deer for a while,
then the other group catches up and the first group rests.
The deer gets no rest though and eventually they just wear
it down. Once they can break a leg or get a good neck
cut they just wait it out.
About the only thing I will waste a good deer hunt on
is a coyote, shoot them every chance I get...

I would think it would take more than 3 coyotes to nail a mule deer.
Although mule deer aren't particularly bright; they often run "just
over
the next rise", then stop because they can't see the danger anymore.
