Yotes

[whaler1]

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

[whaler1]

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

What alarm are you using?

[BigWilly]

Mach. I am using a wireless motion alarm

$16.99 at harbor freight. Plus batteries.

Works great for the money. I just need more predators to show up. Lol.

[whaler1]

What alarm are you using?

[machzrcr]

Nice! May have to get one!

[whaler1]

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.

Hoping to hear the alarm go off tonight.

[whaler1]

Nice! May have to get one!

Home Depot has a similar one on their website.

Search "wireless motion detectors".

 k.  what is the range on yours?   I would be set up roughly 250 yds behind my house.  

[whaler1]

I'm 130 yds.

[whaler1]

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

[BigWilly]

The one I use is 400 foot.

120 yds is where it's set up.

I had the $100 chamberlain and it's junk compared to the $17 one from HF.

I've been doing this for seven years, since I bought this house. I've been shooting them ever since.

 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.

 Hi whaler1.Mother nature is on the coyote's side. The more we have tried  to wipe them out in US, the more they prosper, thrive, and branch out ,expanding their range .They will begin to mature and breed much younger and have much larger litters when their numbers  are threatened in an area they want to live .

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

[whaler1]

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

One needs to keep in mind that coyotes are more or less an invasive species to most of this country. There native range is the southwest part if US. They filled vacumn left by absence of wolves. Where wolves have been re introduced there numbers are on a big decline.

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.

That's a awesome pic, I can't believe the amount of dogs you have up there. Seems the more you shoot the they come to the pile.

[justtracytrolling]

The more you kill the more coyotes you have! The ultimate critter to hunt n chase. They can live anywhere, eat anything, breed with other canines to ensure survival, and have a ghost like ability to vanish....

[whaler1]

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.

[whaler1]

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

[Xxx]

Wow that's to f'ed up whaler, there isn't any dog worth anyone's life. I don't blame you shooting from the pile. Keep the pics. Coming!!!

[bondouley]

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

Disappointed that the last two yotes weren't recovered. The same habitat that makes it so good makes recovery very hard if they don't drop on the spot.
