In my area i don't have a major problem with them taking deer we have too many of them anyways, i see it as more of a managment aspect. However they take a large number of grouse as well as cause major headaches for us cattle farmers. They will lurk around the pastures and wait for the mother to go to feed or get away from the calf then grab it by the stomach and rip. I love grouse hunting and grew up on a cattle farm so any yote i see gets the business. They tend to get very brave here at times wandering into farmyards attacking family dogs, or else luring the dogs out of the yard where there are 3 others waiting to attack. Heck i have had them eating out of a dumpster at the back of the house.
