re: Yote my buddy shot this morning. this is why you kill them.

If I see one while hunting you better believe I'm shooting. I found a spike last year that was killed by yotes. You could see the tracks where they ran him down and the banks were too steep for him to climb out. Kill em all with fire

If they are killing any, regardless of size, its too many.

Not here in Georgia, the more dead deer the better. It's not safe to drive at night and the ticks are awful. I fish but don't hunt. If I were a hunter I could take several deer a year from my front and back porch.

A few years ago we heard this really odd sound coming from our woods. Turned out to be a bleating fawn. We found the mom a few hours later; roadkill not far away. The wif tried to save the fawn by feeding whole milk and evaporated milk but it died the next day. We didn't have coyotes then, we do now and I doubt we'd even hear a fawn before a coyote got to it.

WLF said there was a 90% fawn mortality rate this year in our area and our herd is unhealthy.

from issaac....

very rare for a coyote to take down a mature deer.

very common to take a part from a cleaning pile and run off with it.

I have shot several yotes with things in their mouths.. rats, mice, ducks, rabbits squirrels... birds, frogs and snakes...

never have they held onto to what is in their mouths when I shot them.. and folks I have shot a lot of yotes.

I shite you not, I was walking on one our dirt roads through our lease Friday morning to go sit in a stand and try to kill a few hogs, when a big fricking cat jumped out into the road about 40 yards in front of me, right after that a yote jumps into the road and chased her off. The yote then turned around and went back the direction he was coming from. I stood there for a moment and waiting to see if anything would pop back out into the road. After about 2 minutes, I decided to turn around and go back to the camp and start drinking.


We have one report of a cougar being spotted last year and we all laughed at him, what I saw was defiantly a cougar. I'm not laughing anymore.

Anyone else seeing more cats then normal on their leases? This was in Choctaw County Alabama.

Kidding. You hear reports all the time, but I've never seen anything like that. My uncle, who I trust, says he has seen one multiple times on his property in tylertown ms.

Another acceptable reason

Why would you not shoot? besides possibly messing up a deer hunt
