My 14 yo barn cat came up missing the weekend before Thanksgiving. She was stone deaf but still in good health. Thinking it was a yote that got her. Anyway, pull in the driveway at the farm this morn and see this fella laying in the pasture watching the neighbors kids and dogs waiting on the school bus. I get out of the truck and he sits up. I start talking and walking to the house. Slip inside and grab the 6.5 Grendel and a pair of muffs. Back outside he has moved to the wood line but pauses and looks back 124 yds out. Grendelized.  |

That's the way I like to see coyotes. Unless it's me looking at them with my sights aligned. Then they look the same way that one does.
Coyotes are murder on cats. I do ADC work, and I get a lot of calls from folks who are missing their outside cats, or a small dog in their yards. Many comment about how a cat can climb a tree, but few realize the ability of a coyote.
Glad you go this one!

A guy over by my cabin found a yote den and set up a trail cam outside of it. He claims to have trail cam pictures of momma yote dragging a white tail fawn up to it's door step.Actually don't doubt it, but the Encon boys say that yotes don't take deer.

You know how many times I've head that story. I'm sure coyotes get there share of fawns but not as many as some claim. My area of NY has a lot of coyotes, same as the rest of the state but we definitely have a deer problem. I don't think we could possible have anymore deer than we have now. Most guys in my area are pretty much killing as many deer as they want with tags left over. If coyotes were that prolific at killing deer we would not have the numbers we do. |

I work in Animal Damage Control. Yotes will take deer anytime they can. An excellent bait for them. They usually kill fawns the most. As with many species of wildlife,, the young are the easiest to take.

Good job. Looks like you ran out there and cut his throat, (much better story btw). Nice big red one, looks like one I saw in our field last friday morning.
Addition,Your pic reminds me. First light one morning I shot at a yote standing broadside, no more than 3 feet on the other side an electric fence. Long story short, sparks flew every where and the yote was untouched, I guess. I cut the fence in two. Couldn't do it if I tried.
