I have been watching a few deer this past winter and have come across areas where some deer have been yarding up. There has been a few coyote kills on them this year but it hasn't been that bad yet.I have found 5 different deer yards in this area all of which are in about a 30 mile radius of here..In the biggest one up to 150 deer has been counted..So the past 3 or 4 years of mild winters have brought the numbers up pretty darn good. The problem with the deer yards is that they are all quite close to the roadways here. With winter fastly approaching it's down hill side it should make for some great hunting next year though!!!
