You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

They sure do. First few days before they can run is likely when they are most vulnerable. As many as I have walked up on during that time I'm sure many yotes have as well. Easy pickings when they won't even run away.

Yotes are really bad in my area cause nobody hunts them. Looks like they get 1 out of every 3 fawns. I do what I can but usually they wise up pretty quick to my calls and I can't set snares or traps do to catching the locals dogs.
Life is hard; It’s even harder if you are stupid.

Decent coyote populations around me but still see good numbers of fawns. Hay season is probably the biggest killer in my area.

Neat picture, hate to see them getting fawns but nature will go on and deer are on more than just our dinner plate.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity!!

Coyotes are a serious threat until the fawns can run well. After that i've watched them playing in a field acting frisky and actually chase the coyotes around. lol

I recently did business with a retired WDNR study Biologist. He said at one point they had a trail cam over a den of pups and there were over 10 fawns brought back to that den.

I found a dead yote at a water hole. I hope he choked on that fawn.

I should also add that any Biologist (Bronson Stickland, Kip Adams, Grant Woods) that I have done an interview with said that the single largest source of predation on fawns is coyotes. Not that those guys are the end all be all but they certainly know their stuff as they have all done research that proved it.

The PA biologists have a blog and did a series on "Who's eating bambi". They were recently featured on the Open Air Project podcast and discussed this a little. They are vulnerable as fawns, but in their data I think they only ever had 2 adults killed by them.
