Dave, if you have a lot of 'yotes, that's probably the reason for the deer herd being thin. The 'yotes eat a tremendous amount of newly birthed fawns. Dr. Grant Woods did a study, and in an area where 'yotes weren't controlled, they ate right around 80% of the newly birthed fawns within the first 4 hours of the fawn's life.


That's good to know. I was wondering where all our deer went..... A .243 should be a quick fix for the yotes I have around here. I sure don't want them eating my dogs either!
