Guess I need to import some yotes. We are over run with deer. And if the coyotes get too thin we get over run with rabbits. Between deer and rabbits, a soybean crop can be destroyed in a timber enclosed bottom field.

I leave them alone (unless they look sick) and let nature set the balance. The rabbits and deer seem to follow a "rolling spawn" so to speak with one set of population numbers following the other.

Have one at the old pond helping me keep some goslings from claiming my ponds as home. Don't know where they and their parents are walking in from.

I find the coyotes preferable to the deer. Deer don't eat mice.
