I go to Hereford every late December early January for pheasant season. This year was my 6th and I have called maybe 6 times. I would have called more, but windy conditions and poker and the fact that it is some of the roughest hunting, i.e. "walking in snow all day long", have limited my night hunts. I have seen a few yotes, not as many as usual the last few years, due to the fact that the phesant population is way down and they are the yotes food of prefence. Its not hard to locate the places to call though. Look for any cover at all, since there is very little in that whole country! Most of the ones we killed were with shotguns, during pheasant hunting, walking through thick cover, and the blockers on the other sides awaiting pheasants to run to the edge of the cover and fly or run, would shoot the yotes whom had the same idea. A total of 4 yotes out of one thick brushy 4 acre patch of ragweed and head high thickets in the last 6 years! Might I add, this same place is our most productive pheasant hunting spot we hunt! At least 6 a year. The hard part about locating the yotes, is the fact that Hereford is the cattle capital of TEXAS, and there are soo many dead cows everywhere, you just can't find one dead carcass and look for the yotes. I swear I counted at least 100 dead cows this last trip. WEll, I know there is some yotes, so just try and call some up. I am sure if I was coyote hunting instead of pheasant hunting, I would have had a little more success at bagging a few yotes instead of pheasants! Good Luck.
