Hey guys,
Not to much to brag about on this one but here is the story. I was up early to check out the carcass, you'll remember I've taken 4 yotes off the carcass over the last week or so.
Anyway to make a long story even shorter nothing showed up, I called then for about 15 minutes but again a big zero.
Visitors coming for Easter weekend so I decided to win some brownie points and head back home around 6:30 am to help the wife (this strategy works every once in a while!)
Half way home this yote crosses the road in front of me at a slow walk. I slow down and continue driving as the road continues downhill with a fairly high bank on each side. Scratching my head and wondering what's the best attack I decide at least to do a U turn and head back up hill.
By this time I figure the yote will be long gone but as I look ahead she is on my side of the shoulder of the road looking back in the direction she came from, almost as if she is expecting company. Anyway she sees me driving up the road and turns back, I lose sight of her because of the high bank. As I approach the area where she disappeared I look to my right and there she is about 50 yards away just looking at me! I pull over to the side of the highway, hop out of the Pathfinder, chamber a round and the stupid thing, although she is now about 75 yards away, just keeps looking in my direction BIG MISTAKE!
I looked thru the scope almost expecting to see a dog collar and squeezed off an off hand shot. Hit her where I was aiming and she dropped like a stone.
Blood on the Pathfinder again and still sporting my blue gloves.
