Yotes

[whaler1]

The trail cam pics of fox is crazy. If it wasn't for a preference of yotes I think we could have shot 20+.

If you google earth our set, it's really a huge draw. Habitat couldn't be better.

Whaler, do you ever use .17 on yotes? I have heard of people that do. Wondering if it packs enough punch or requires a follow up for semi marginal hits.

Thanks!

I don't use the 17 on yotes, just fox. I use the .204 on yotes and still didn't recover two hit hard over snow covered ground. I want the pelts to be as clean and undamaged as possible but the ,204 packs a little more umpf.

I'm sure a lot of yotes are killed with a .17 but again, both guns are leaned up and depending on what's out the window, I get to take my pic.

[whaler1]

With either gun there is rarely an exit wound. Unless you shoot a fox with the .204 where it can get ugly.

Good to know! Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Unreal....... It's amazing how they keep coming in..... 2 years ago we shot 7 or 8 coyotes in one square. Seemed like every weekend there'd be a new single or pair in it..... for us that was a first. 

 

Bill, I ran the pup tonight in Hilton pretty close to the lake, and there was probably 8" of snow there. You've got to be getting some of that at your place...... does the deeper snow help or hurt you? We never got anything going.....

I think the low temp is more important than deep snow. They need food to stay warm but they don't like heavy wind.

Yea man.... nice!

YouTube is full of ignorant PETA trolls.  I hope you do post some video.  I like watching the hunting videos - especially the heat scope night hunts.  It is amazing how much you can see at night with a 6000 dollar scope.  Like PAP stated - Keep em coming.

Wish the wind would lay down. Nothing moving. When it does they have to be cold and hungry.

Just missed my first yote on the pile at 8 am. My Dog was going crazy when I was trying to shoot it and it started to run..went and looked and looks like a few different sets of tracks out there maybe tonight!

Great stuff MachZ! They have to eat! Looks like I had a visitor the other night. I just put fresh batteries in the motion detector and flipped over the deer. Maybe tonight!

[whaler1]

Keep forgetting to change the date on the trailcam, it's a day ahead

[whaler1]

Deer are moving, wonder if the yotes will. Carcass is buried under 20+ inches of snow, not sure if the detectors window is covered with snow or not but either way I will take a walk in the am and look for tracks.

[whaler1]

[whaler1]

Deep snow, went out back and dug out and flipped over the deer. Going to be cold tonight. Bring it!!

[GAMBLER]

Looks like my back yard Bill. The deer were walking by just inside the woods last night while I was grilling!

[machzrcr]

I haven't had anything hitting last few nights but got a fresh road kill yesterday and have to work the next 4 nights so gunna hang it till Sunday then put it out!

[whaler1]

_{nothing moving last night, they have to eat sometime}

[BigWilly]

I shut my alarm off yesterday due to crows and Hawks. Forgot to turn it back on fell a sleep early!! Just walked out to start my truck and there was 2 yotes at my bait having a little breakfast!!! And Of course no gun but plenty of light!!! Lol.

[whaler1]

No kidding! They should be back, hope you crack one.
