Went out hunting right behind my building site on Thursdy night even though i felt really sick and had yotes howling t the north of me. I thought great this should be easy.tried to do a few challange howls but the way i ways feeling just couldnt get to sund right so after 2 hrs and getting really cold i gave up and went to the house. Th next day i grabed my gun to go check on tracks and saw a crow in the field so took a poke at it and missed. Look to my right and there is a yote trotting across the field to the woods. So quick st up the bipod and get ready for him to come in a 3 ft clearing so i can take a pook at him at 350 yards.(cant let them go without givbing them a shot. LOL) No luck on conecting but it was fun. Found tracks that where 30 yards from where i was sitting.
Friday night made it out at 11pm and made 3 sets with no takers so drove around and parked the pickup and walked down the road and just tried a few howls by creeks ad had a few takers. Sounded like 4 or 5 yotes so listened to them 20 minutes to see what way they might be moving. Figured it out and jumped in the pickup and drove around the section so wind in my favor and a very nice fence in to sit in. Did a locator howl and i get this male giving me a challange howl back.
So gave him one back and waited a few minuets and gave another. He comes at a dead trot on a mission to kick some butt, he did not know there was a 243 waiting for him. 100 yards and he got his butt kick. Just an average size male that his one ear was ripped from fighting.
[/url][/img] Made two more sts wth no luck and t was 4am so time for bed.
Sunday night went out at 11pm even thought it was cloudy but it still was nice night and light enough. Made two sets with no luck. Went to go to a place i dont hunt much and remembered this nice place on the way there that has two fence that connect together righ by te road. So i pull over and walk down one of the fence lines about 200 yards from the pickup and setup looking toward the river with a nice crp land before it. sure looks very promiss. Started with some female howls and then after 10 minuets gave a few male howls and had made them two sound like they where answering each other. Waited a5 minuets and gave some female whimpering sounds. Did this for 3-4 minuets and looking around with the binos eever time tying to see a taker trying to sneek up. Nothing
so got the old Taly Ho out and did some distress for 15 minuets off and on. Nothing again.
Finally said the heck with this and let flipped the scope gaurds down and folded the bipod up. Stood up with the fun and turned to my right and low and behold i there is a yote sneeking on my back door walking away. Sholder the gun quick look threw thew the scop and it is black. Take a look around the scope and yep yote still there. OHHH
flipp the scope back up. There we go better. Gave a soft howl with my voice and she stops 100 yards off. Let the 243 go and a yote down and a pheasant saved. she must have been a pup last year cause she is not that big but still a yote.

On the binos i will agree they are amust. my go with every time. I have them with the harness so they are always on my chest. will not leave without them. That is like leaving home with out your gun or calls. All calling i do is hand calling and no electronic calls. Fun jtalking wiht you Chris the other night and hope your dad gets better. Snowing now but maybe make it off tonight. Wish we only got something for these yotes.
