no coyotes were ever seen inwestern clinton county until about 8 years ago,then sighting were all over..i know, i was there..

like i said, back about 1960 to 65 or so, there was lot of deer in that test area..BIG CREWS did number on doe..you dont have crews in that area ,you used too..

other areas of countyhad big crews also andMORE DEER..

when they logged off areas of barneys,petes run, beech creek rd,fish dam,about 20 years ago or so, deer DID NOT COME BACK..

this areas are like jungle,but very few deer..

WHY??deer were down in this area before the clearcutting do to doe killing..the deer did not get chance to grow up after woods was logged off..this area did not have deer EVER like other areas of western clinton county..i know, i was there..

i have friend that traps yotes..he used to trap fox as i did too,oh yes, sproul is trapper too, so i am in woods ALOTbut sold my traps ..dont you think if i saw yotes in my travels TRAPPING , i would know if they were here 10,20,30,40 years ago??

think about it..as for yotes not killing deer,trust me, they are killing fawns and we had reports that they are after full grown deer also..most of time yotes are eating mice on pipelines..i saw 9 yotes last year,all were on pipelines at 7 am in morning..usually, they are male/female hunting together..

sorry to get off topic..i cant say why those doe were not harvested as i dont know they info etc.this was all new to me on that collar thing..

that must be a heck of battery on collars to be able to last years..i can tell you, there are camps that ARE NOT KILLING DOE OFF..i talked to camp that did not harvest doe in their hunting area,not one..

if battery goes dead, do they show this as deer that is shot?or one that is still alive and battery went dead??doe going 11 miles,i am seeing that with BUCK now do to the lack of doe,but not 11 miles, i did see buck 3 miles away from where i saw him a week ago ..

that never happened but is now do to lack of doe..
