Yotes

[whaler1]

That's AWESOME whaler1, I had that happen to me a few years ago when a yote flew out of the wooded area and sat down real close I smoked him with a 3 1/2" dead coyote using a 12 bore and another stayed at the woods line my triple Duce "222" with light up recitals made for lights out, my brother who's no longer with us due to cancer was so exited we called it a night stopped at old bar and had a toast to our first double. What a great night!! Congrats to your double also. PAP

Great stuff Pap! Sorry about your brother. Nice that you have some great memories.

Bait pile has been quiet. Maybe tonight will be good. My son saw one on the pile mid day Monday but by the time he got upstairs it was gone. Won't be long.

[whaler1]

Ha ha. Didn't take long. Daughter with the .17.

[whaler1]

Her cousin was visiting from Tampa. They're watching a movie when the alarm went off. Needless to say she thought the whole thing was crazy.

.17 is awesome on fox. No blood at all. No idea where she hit it.

No need for hunting clothes Pap, the bait pile is in the back yard with a wireless motion detector.  When the alarm sounds, we shoot them out the bedroom window.

Whaler ?? You must have a lot of predators out back? Is there a swamp or large track of land or farm area? Just wondering more about your setup!!

Great job kids!!!

Willy I'm on the southwest corner of Braddocks Bay. Lots of marsh and red brush. Great habitat for predators.

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.

[whaler1]

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.

I hope you get one Willy!

2 am a couple coons. No shots fired.

[BigWilly]

I think I am going to add a little coyote urine and fox urine to the bait area to help pull them in better!!!! I do better trapping them then baiting them. Lol.

[whaler1]

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

[whaler1]

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.

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.

how long have you been doing this for,and any change to the small game,it may take time,keep going,

[whaler1]

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.

[BigWilly]

Nice to see the fur goes to use. I am sure your buddy appreciates the added fur to his season!!! My alarm is on and I scented around the bait pile earlier so will see what happens tonight.
