Yotes do go after bucks like that, I "saved" one from them one year, the coyotes were screaming away and coming closer so I knew something was coming, figured it would be a small doe running from them and if so, I would just let her go and shoot the yote! (Bucks only). Well a MONSTER buck came trotting through and when I got over my shock, I shot at him and missed, he took off, yotes stopped coming and everyone lived through it [&:]
