Kind of a late post on the matter here but after watching a doe run her butt off with her tongue hanging out while crossing a field with a yote only feet from her rear, it brought this post about yotes vs deer to my mind again....I have no idea if she ran far enough to avoid capture.
Andy, being from pa and hearing you speak of other reasons for the lack of deer here in pa other than the yotes, I must agree with you about the largest reason for the decline. I don't think it is the game comm either...(they just want the license money)...it is the hunters themselves......because you can buy more tags than you need don't mean you must fill all of them....in the past I have seen this done...even with people that don't eat deer..they still buy many many tags (Allegheny co...sp regulation area...tag unlimited) and just give the meat away......then grump about the lack of deer the next year.
