In Wisconsin they are considered small game and there is no closed season. They were getting to the point where they were hunting in packs taking livestock. There aren't nearly as many around now as there used to be as they have allowed dogs to be used in the hunt for some time now, which I disagree with. We have fox around and have seen them sleeping in our yard but the 'yotes have stayed away for the most part. We had a large, very territorial (with other animals except the fox) lab that kept them away for a while. Our current lab is smaller (65#) and is afraid of everything. We have also sighted wolves running within a hundred yards of our property. I keep an eye out for any signs of those critters.
