RE: predators
Had a buddy of mine yeterday took a yote out while deer hunting. There was 3 of them total chasing a fawn. The one he did get was with his bow, and had to shoot it 3 times. He shot once at one of the others but missed. Here in Ohio you can use rifle or whatever day or night, and 365 days a year I believe. I'm really not sure what kind of effect they have on a deer herd, but they will put a really big dent in small game populations!! That's one of the reason's the wolf was introduce again out west, to put a dent in the yote population.
