It appears that a deer was taken down by one or more coyotes in Eagle Point Colony early this morning. Evidence of a struggle and tracks were found in a backyard. Please keep an eye on your pets and also do your part by not leaving pet food outside. These predators as well as other nuisance animals are opportunistic and can be attracted to dog/cat food.
