toddyboman Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Predators while hunting things than predators (deer,turkey,elk, ect)? I often read or hear about guys passing coyotes or other predators during archery or gun season. Now if season isn't open on those critters I completely understand. BUT if you have the proper license and it is legal to shoot a predator as it passes by your stand do you shoot it or pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not any more. Kill every yote I get a chance on. Way too many of them around here. Too many times I have shot only to have deer come around later anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Lets put itthis way..do those "preditors" pass on an oportunity to kill and eat what your hunting?:gunsmilie: NOPE....that is why I shoot them at any and every opportunity.......but I often see people say they pass them as fear the shot or dead critter would/could spook other game. So that is why I asked the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Correct you are! I need to say no more..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldridgem1 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I personally shoot every one i see. Not to mention there are plenty of them around but if you do have to leave a deer overnight you mite as well gaurantee the yotes have got it.

magnatecsteve Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I shoot whenever I have an opportunity. This past spring I shot two yotes in two consecutive mornings while trying to turkey hunt. Had a couple of close chances this fall but didn't get a shot. I think with the drop in fur prices there aren't nearly as many people hunting them, they're getting to be a real problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Been plenty I could not get shots on but I can only recall ever passing up one Todd, that was about 8 years ago during our ml'er season. Kind of kicked myself for not killing that one that morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Unless I have a trophy whitetail in front of me when the yote shows up, the yote is going to be 150 gr. heavier just before he hits the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Wolves and yotes are in big trouble if they show themselves to any of our gang members during a hunt, we shoot on sight. :gunsmilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I pass on passing ... Actually, this year, October 28th to be exact, i had a doe come running by, tail up, and checking behind her. I thought for sure it was a buck chasing her, but couldn't figure out why her tail was up...about 15 seconds after she went by, i saw the yote, who chose to give up on its pursuit of the doe, and bedded down 33 yds from my stand...I watched this yote for 2 1/2 hours, and in that time i videoed a 2.5 yr old 8 walk within 12 yds of it, and then a fork horn walk within 20 yds of it - neither of the two bucks had any idea that yote was even there...To its demise, it got out of bed to chase a squirrel, that it missed anyway, and made an attempt to go directly back to its bed....Too bad for her, she provided a tiny window that i was able to slip my GT Nuge 5575 right through her lungs and heart and dropped her in her tracks... if there's any opportunity at drilling a yote, you can bet im gonna try and take it.

dbHunterNY Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Never. They always get my full undivided attention... when I see them that is. They get my heart racing more than most big game around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
