You bet it is. We have several factors where you and I hunt that keeps us from seeing them thick as maggots, yotes have become a big one. Add changing food from week to week, human pressure with the thick, rough terrain to hide in and those you do have can become hard to see in daylight. I've started rethinking my doe harvest numbers and coyotes are the main reason.
