Although I do understand they need to be kept in check, as an unabashed dog lover, a dead 'yote always make me a bit sad.

However,I don't think we should hate them- they are a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

That said, BOWHUNTERCOP- there are probably 5 or 6 more who didn't show!

edit to add-

well, it looks like I may need to cull the local 'yote population too; sitting on stand yesterday I thought, it's just too quiet-no squirrels, no turkeys and, looking around, zero deer tracks in a usually high traffic zone.

So I took a little walk around and found very fresh tracks in the falling snow from at least two and probably four song dogs; one set was nearly as large as my hand!
Not one deer track on that whole side of the hill the 'yotes are running.

I don't mind encountering one or two but a pack is an entirely different, uh, animal.
