nothing moving last night, they have to eat sometime

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

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.

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

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!

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

Maybe next year we will figure out a way to do video. Could really piss some people off!!!!

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

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

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.

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

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

Lots of dark ones this year. There must exist a big black alpha male somewhere. Can't complain with what we've shot but I'm optimistic that we may crack something really cool.

Yes Mike it was. A young one at that.

Been one of our best years for yotes and fox.

It's like living in a tree stand lol. So cool to have both the motion detector and trail cam over the bait. Hoping to do some damage during the cold spell.

I hope you get a good one soon. Yotes move around a lot, should just be a question of time.

Any luck yet MachZ?

Here's a pic of the last yote moments before it got shot.

Another for the .17

Tommy said it was very nice. Yotes are rutting hard right now.

Mike and Matt Tommy took a pic on his cell today coming home from Football. 260 west of Bliers north side of 18. Jet black and big. The things you see when you don't have a gun.
