Snow gets deeper but the yotes keep coming

[AdrianJHare]

I got up at first light and headed back to the same place this morning and when I got there I spotted another yote in the same feild as I got one yesterday. Tried to do a sneek around behind the barn but when I rounded the barn the wind was so bad and cold that my eyes watered so bad I could not see. I however noticed that the yote I had tried to move on was no where in sight

I tried a little calling and nothing so I went back to the truck and moved up the road and on the other side of the road. There a creek bottom with a think run of cedars and scrub running into a swamp but the wind was not right blowing from me to the woods. I decided to go anyway and tried to do a cross wind set.

My set was close to the end of the thickets along some red gads and the wind was blowing straight into the red gads so I turned on the caller on 38 to start as the wind was blowing bad. DTS Jack rabbit and played it for 2.5 minutes and stopped. I waited about 1 minute and thought I would try a female howl and as I grabbed the Quaker Boy female open reed I looked up to see 2 Yotes down wind of me allready running back towards the red gads , so I swung with the bipod and Barked loud and one disapeared and the female stopped right at the edge to look back and the Rem 788 - 243 was set on the shoulder and down she went.

Tried the Kihi for a minute but the other did not come back out. As I thought that I only called for a few minutes I howled and barked and followed with a short Kihi and waited. After 2 minutes of silents I started to do the DST Jack again. I glanced around and over my shoulder and theres a yote walking into the wind behind me about 250 yds but it can not hear the caller for the wind. I swung around and barked and it stopped and I forgot to allow for the wind drift and settled on the shoulder with the cross hairs and squeezed to find I missed as the cross wind was just to hard.

Anyways I got another and there is more yet in this new place so I stopped by 3 different adjoining farms and asked permission and got all three of them so I can now call from better locations down wind of the area...
