Coyotes in numbers will most certainly affect not only your Whitetail population but also your Turkeys. I have watched and observed our populations since the yotes first arrived in the mid 90s and they have declined to the extent that not only has our Turkey season been adjusted by the state but the same is now on the books for the Deer.

A freind also just sent me a video of a power line hunt where his buddy put his foam archery deer target out, took off the antlers and sprayed it with deer scent. He settled into his stand and shortly after a pack of yotes demolished the decoy. I have tried to enhance the video but it was sent via text and he doesn't have an email so thats a no go.

You can see the decoy getting tossed and shredded and hear the yotes going nuts!
