It's called nature. Coyotes have been eating deer and anything else they can catch for millions of years. I would think hunters would understand the whole prey/predator relationship. I have no problem with coyotes being coyotes and I firmly believe that some natural predation makes healthier deer herds. Take away the predators and everything nature does and you may as well hunt in a zoo. I refuse to begrudge predators being predators. That simply isn't logical.

Coyotes have no closed season, you can poison, trap, and shoot them. Their numbers keep increasing due to their adaptability and intelligence. I too do not think killing something without the intent to eat is wasteful. I am glad that coyotes are smarter than the people trying to control a predator at the top of the food chain. Their is no balance like nature and I agree that man does a poor job whether hunting predator or prey. In North America we have killed a majority of the top predators. We say hogs are varmints and cause millions in losses to farmers. More people are killed every year by vehicle collisions with deer and billions annually due to collisions. People have a way of mucking everything up.
