Those yotes are starting to become a problem in my area as well. My hunting parner gut shot a doe 2 weeks ago. He watched her bed form his stand, and waited until dark to climb down. We walked back to the trucks to drop some gear and get ready for the drag out, when we heard the yotes yelping. It was less than 10 min from the time he left her till the yotes were on her. We never did find that doe.

BTW: many of his chickens, and ducks have started to come up missing, so they are really starting to encroach onto developed property.
