Jludwig,my property is the exception to the rule for nj,my house sits on a acre but we are surrounded by a 80 acre preserve,campground and my 35 acre pond/property yet still minutes from urban areas.

Chances are in the near future I'll be getting a karakachan (not sure of the spelling in english) from Bulgaria when the time is right.They are similar too the great white pyrenees and are not afraid of a wolf let alone a 35 lb yote.Just not a option at this time.

esshup,thanks I'll take a look into that.

CJ,you can say that again.

Due to my location in a preserved area I have a VERY good working relationship with our local fish and game warden.He has so many places to cover that are scattered about a large area he rarely shows unless I alert him of a problem.............and if he does show up chances are if my car is in the drive he'll knock first.I'd call him but I already know what he'll say to do wink just wanted to see if there was anything else out there.

Dave I've heard the yelps and saw their beady eyes on my property line less than 15 ft away the last time they where a issue.They had found our chickens and would pick a few off every now and then mere feet from my back door.I was more scared of them than a run in with a mama bear and a cub I had in the mountains.

I guess you all could say I'm afraid of yotes like Todd is snakes laugh
