Just put a fresh deer on the pile. Should be more soon.

Breeding pair. Urine with blood in it. Tracked it for a long time and they stayed together. Crossed the marsh in an area I don't trust the ice. They didn't do that by accident. We almost lost a man (and did lose a dog ) some years back on lake Leroy. One of my sons nearly drowned rescuing a man that tried to get to the dog that fell through pursuing the yote. Not worth it.

Killed a fox at midnight last night and had two yotes on the pile this morning. Hit one hard, good blood trail but my son hasn't been able to track it down yet. 300 yards through dense red brush is tough stuff.

Mange is a much greater threat to them than I am.

I'm ok with that, I've got lots of ammo!

Don't know the range, could be good at that distance?

I'm 130 yds.

Nice! May have to get one!

Search "wireless motion detectors".

Hoping to hear the alarm go off tonight.

The one I have appears to be sold under a bunch of brands. 60 to 70 bucks seems to be the norm.

Attached is a pic of the other end.

What alarm are you using?

Great stuff!

It was really cool. First couple days of the summer derby. Skinny water and light line. Got it up and close like ten times only for it to bulldog away. Looking from the boat down to the fish it looked like low teens and I was getting impatient with it. Only when it hit the net and then the deck you could see what a freak it was.

Hoping for one of the kids to shoot one tonight. Good night for it. Will post a pic if they do.

Yeah Willy, he appreciates it. He's a great guy and I'm perfectly fine just to have them go to good use.

What sound did you use?

Awesome!

I've been doing this for seven years, since I bought this house. The first year I lived here I arrowed a nice buck just before dark. Found it the next morning and it was hammered. I've been shooting them ever since.

I pulled the chip on the deer this morning after a few weeks over the deer. It's amazing how many coyotes and fox are in the area. Perfect habitat I guess. Seems like there's more all the time. I used to have a lot more turkeys around but if anything I think the small game population is declining. Oh well, going to keep shooting.

Whaler that's a pretty ruff looking yote!!

What do you do with all the fur you get

I give them to a friend of mine.  He skins them and sells them. Usually nets out plus or minus a grand every year from our back yard. 

This one has a horrible case of mange and is near death. Hate to see this. Very contagious, first mangey one I've seen this year.

Here's a pic of the one I missed last night

Whaler I see you guys stay busy with them predators. I am on a mountain and I have a motion sensor on bait myself!! But have had nothing but crows all day. And at night it is dead no motion. Lol.

I hope you get one Willy!

I suck. Just bloodied one up but can't find it. Good blood. Will look harder in the morning. The red brush is really thick and my flashlight kept dying.

Same fish

Did you measure girth on that fish. I bet itis bigger than its length.

I didn't but I will, its on the wall of the dead animal room.
