I wouldnt eat those scavengers and would stick an arrow in everyone I had the chance to. Although the yote population in Virginia is rising, Ive yet to see one while I hunt. ONly along the interstate.
them things are all over Amherst and Nelson county... I stuck one year before last, opening day of bow season... let another walk later in the season...saw two huge yotes while I was hanging a rifle stand last year.
Had a pack "assemble" on a ridge one night while I was headed out...they were yapping and howling following me step for step on the ridge top. So they are everywhere on the other side of the mtn. from you.
I don't think healthy deer are worried too much about ind. yotes....packs of them may have the deer change routes till the coyotes move on.
