witnessed something very cool but tough the other night. I was sitting in tree stand and by edge of corn/bean field. Heard a noise come out of corn to my left about 60 yds. It was a yote that jumped out of corn and came running down the edge toward me. I was planning on trying for a shot. As it got about to me it turned and headed a few rows down the corner straight away from me. (stand is located at a corner of corn field) It crouched like a cat. Just then here came a doe busting out of the corn. The yote leaped and landed on its back and pulled it right down. This happened in the grass between corn and beans. There was a terrific battle. All I could see what the does legs flailing and the yote on top and tearing away and growling something fierce. The doe managed to get up and tear off out of there. The yote hopped a couple steps and just watched her run away. I tried for a shot. I figured 35 yds and hit right under him. Went to get my arrow and ranged the spot at 40. It all happened so fast..probably 25 seconds at most. I wish I had a video. Now I fully understand how yotes can do damage on deer. If one yote can pull down a mature doe what would 2-3 of them do. How about fawns?
And...how crazy smart coyotes are. I believe he kicked her up in corn and got her running. He came out the side though so he could run faster, then got around the edge where he knew she'd come out. Insane!
