Biologist all agree that with yotes, the more pressure we put on them, the larger the litters. This makes for a sustained area that produces consistently year over year. And I mean produces does not mean that you can just walk in and call them to your car door LOL
I had a link from a biologist who is studying them in RI, that shows a harvest in one section of the study, that hunters took over 30 of them, and they reproduced twice as much as the other control area. This is why yotes are so successful and their numbers fluctuate. I lost the link, but had watched it for quite a while, although you can google many more, it's the same outcome.
I live in the south central part of PA, in greencastle, and know a couple of guys that have killed a few around the farms here. There is better turkey hunting here than yotes. If your in D4 and want to clue me in, I am all ears. Being a transplant, I don't have the local connections to get permission to hunt on private land, which seems to be the norm. The WMA's around here are loaded with hunters during the season. I have my guns ready to go for the fall hunt, and if anyone is around my area, I would be glad to get something going!
