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.
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.
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.

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.
If you're out of your home port, I'd be fishing on the edge of the mudline just out of the mouth and east. Newmans to cowsucker over and over. Half in the stained water and half just outside.
Should be a great time, post pics.
