[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 175726, member: 547"] I watched two big 'yotes sniffing around a thicket full of deer at @100 yards away this AM. The deer weren't too worried. They'll rip up fawns, for sure, and will definitely stalk a herd looking for the weak and sick. Seen it a bunch. Now, bobcats, on the other hand, will worry a deer to the max. I had some deer bust past my stand while bow hunting 3 weeks ago looking over their shoulders and blowing. A few minutes later, THREE bobcats strolled through & stopped to lounge a bit. All under 25 yards - it was a joy to see. The thing that's causing heavy stress on deer in many areas is disease. A high deer density area like you described is a prime target for CWD and 'blue tongue', which is wiping out bunches of deer. It might be worthwhile to check with DNR biologists and see what's up....... Other than that - poaching. Don't ignore the possibility. [/QUOTE]
