wtnhunt Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Seems an unusual time for them to be moving around. Just popped this one about 20 minutes ago at about 10:20 a.m. The temp here right now is in the low 70's. UPS just dropped off a package not 10 minutes before I noticed this yote back here. I walked by the kitchen window and saw something moving at the bottom of the hill. Looked closer and saw it was a yote. Guess I have been trying to hunt yotes at the wrong times. Grabbed my AR out of the cabinet, bumped the magazine in and chambered a round, then slowly opened the sliding glass door, and rested the rifle on my freehand held up tight to the door. The yote looked up towards the house when I took the safety off and it was headed towards the woods when I squeezed my shot. It dropped on the spot, this makes the 4th male yote I have killed with the AR since last summer. Have yet to kill a female though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 any time is a good time to shoot a yote :D .....(as long as it's legal) No season on yotes here Todd, they are open year round. Too bad the same is not true for cats, saw a bobcat Saturday afternoon while turkey hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good thing the ups man came by when he did. I probably would have missed seeing this yote when I did, possibly all together if it had not been for the timing. Where I saw this yote in the backyard is only about 75 yards or so away from our side pasture where we have some calves, only about 95-100 yards behind the house.

Bachflock Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well done! I heard a bunch turkey hunting but never saw one. I was ready, though. LOL He is pretty lean looking, even for a coyote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well done! I heard a bunch turkey hunting but never saw one. I was ready, though. LOL He is pretty lean looking, even for a coyote. Guessing he weighed around 45 lbs, actually looked fairly healthy to me when I dragged him in the tractor bucket to dispose of him. Have seen bigger yotes here, think that one was a younger adult male. The two previous males I killed over the winter were a little bigger. Here is one from back at the end of January.
