My neighbor -i'll call him ED went bow hunting one time 2 years ago with his crossbow. He was hunting from a pop up ground blind over a pile of apples and corn. About quitting time a little 4 pt came into his bait pile. Eds 78, but still shoots very well , he also has a game tracker on his crossbow. Well he shoots-the deer bolts , carrying out line- a lot of line. Ed decides to track his deer in the morning with his grand son. Well that where i first heard about it . Ed came to my house and asked me if i knew if we had any coyotes in our area. I told him yes we have a lot of them. He said that why when we tracked my deer , at the end of the game tracker string all we found of it was some hide and hair , the head and a few other parts. A WHOLE deer gone in one night. He has given up on deer hunting.

That'd leave a sour taste in my mouth. Must have been a BIG pack of yotes, maybe even a bear? Time to take up predator hunting. LOL

The best lessons are those learned before you wish you had known better - especially when it comes to picking and eating wild mushrooms.

Reminds me of last year looking for a deer. We were walking all over trying to find it and the dang coyotes were running around us. We seen 2 that night. Well we didn't find it that night (I walked 20 feet from it, but it was thick cattails and couldn't see it) so we checked the next morning and it was nothing but a head and bones. The guts were even gone.

My doe last year got bit by yotes. Maybe that's the reason she never laid down. As I tracked her the next mornin you could she where she laid for seconds and then got up running. When I finally got to her their were yote tracks all around and the ponch was ripped open. They never ate nothin, just ripped open the ponch. SOB! I probably scared em off as I was approaching.

We have alot of coyotes around here too, DNR planted them years back to take down the deer herd due to crop damage.
Just remember...... you can eat any mushroom ONCE

Yotes are pretty much native all over. You sure about that? Heck - they'll release those friggin' Asian ladybugs I'm sure they've released others. Not cougars though!
