Hey gents. So, earlier this week I posed a question about shooting coyotes during deer season and got some awesome answers. Well here is the bad news. The last two weeks on the farm have been terrible hunting. Now before that it wasn't great but I mean one of my good friends have been out very regularly and carefully for the last couple weeks without a deer sighting. Now this is weird as during the first week and before of season, there was tons of deer traffic. I have the farm deer patterned pretty well, they're pretty much creatures of habit here. But no deer. And I mean none. The only thing we have heard and seen are yotes. Too many of them. I had my suspicions about why the deer disappeared. Maybe change in seasons, maybe feeding patterns maybe even the "October lull" (myth) but after checking all my cams that have been sitting out for at least 3 weeks, I have very few pics period and almost none of deer. All the pics are of yotes and multiple yotes. It seems like there is a pack of 4-5 that are roaming my property. Young ones looking like. Basically the coyotes have run off my deer herd or at least pushed their travel patterns so out of whack that no one is seeing them and neither are my cams. I'm going to try to get out at night and call in and shoot as many as I can but does anyone know anything about trapping em. I want all of them dead and gone so my deer can return or at least resume semi normal travel before the rut hits. Any ideas on trapping, night shooting and calling or anything useful to getting rid of these damned things I'd really appreciate it!!
