I got up early and loaded and left Tomcats to meet up with Yoter about a hour south of where he lives!!
Least he aint working this time!! Ha ha
I get there and they have already spotted 2 yotes!! I get collars on and road the stags!! It froze pretty hard so i have to wait for a while to run the stags or they wont have any feet left!!
I get on the north side and watching for a few mins and see the hounds go in a small patch near town!! wasnt long i hear them open and the yote breaks out south!! Its a real brite red yote, The tracking wasnt very good yet with it being froze so hard!!
I send Rhino, Hunter and Sandy up a ditch that i seen the yote go into!! They start barking and some one saw the yote sneak out east!! Took them over a hour the fallow the track!! The yote crossed north so i hit the north road to stop it cause the next road was a bad hard slab road!!
The yote never came out of the ditch and the hounds were so far behind it!! so i send Digger ,June and Marie south up a fence row that goes into the same ditch!! Its starting to thaw some now and the hounds open up!! The yote makes the east road and some guys dump a truck load of hounds and when my hounds made the road it got all messed up and none of the hounds stayed with the yote!!
Mike Scott spots a yote up on a hill in the same section but its a diff yote!!
we let the first yote go and Yoter walks hounds out to the one on the hill!! I get in place and he hollers when the yote is up running and his hounds are in hot pursuit!!
The yote is heading for the south east corner and i get there in time so the stags can see it!!
I pull up to a drive way and send them!! That race was over pretty fast!! The yote was ducking and turning and liz nailed it!! My terriers was a nut case in the truck so i let them out!! Ha ha
from the left is Frosty,Sleepy,Liz Yoters Little piggy hound,Ace, Casey and Babe on the bottom!!
Get the hounds loaded up and got them a drink!! Find all the back hounds and some one sends a few hounds up the ditch where the last yote went into!!
Its not long and the race has started again!!
That red yote is heading for the south east corner just like that last one did!!
I get pulled up there to the same drive way that i sent the stags on the last one and send them again!! This time the yote was out there a little further and it made a heck of a run!! My hound Libby was really putting a show on!! That yote was ducking and dodging and Libby was glued right on its tail!!
The yote made a 180 turn on her and she stayed right with it!! It was going to cross the road behind me now and there must of been 5 trucks there watching the whole race!! They all crossed the road in high gear and that yote was still doing the ducking!!
Some of the guys got hounds out and sent them to the race!! I think they must of thought the yote was going to win this race but Libby wasnt giving up!! 1/4 mile she finally got it nocked down but was so far ahead of the other stags the yote got up and was rolling again!! They gained some ground and she nocked it down a 2nd time and that ended the race!!
I was really proud of Libby with the way she ran there and stayed right with it!! Just like she knew she had a audience watching her!!
This is #2 in 20 mins!!
I get them loaded and a drink of water and just get the door shut and some one hollars on the radio that 2 hounds just crossed west right on a yote!!
same section as the first 2!! I make the west road and get turned around and here they come!!
coming right at me but going to cross at a angle in front of me!!
I send the poodles again and when they crossed in front of me my My Emma pup was leading the race!! They went over a little nob so i didnt see the catch!! A guy down the road could see them and said they got him!!
we get walked out and Emma has ahold of a leg on the yote!! That is the first time ever that she has pulled hair!!
She is a little over a year old!!
Emma is the darker hound that has ahold of the leg
That is # 3 for the stags with the last 2 being back to back with no rest!!
I wasnt going to run them any more and give them a rest!! They were plum wore out!!
Some guys get south about 3 miles and send some hounds up a ditch!! wasnt long and the race was on!!
The yote and hounds are heading east hard!! The cross the east road and some guys adds more hounds!!
They make the next road and they are hollering for me to get there and shutt it down !! Its a real bad hard slab hi way!!
I get there and can see the yote coming!! The stags see it but there is a simi coming at me!!
I get pulled over and wait for the big truck to get pass me!! The yote is a 100 yds off the road and turns when the truck passes!! I dont see any cars coming so i send them!!
The yote runs right along the hi way and 2 stags run the road trying to cut it off!! They all get in the field and the yote decides to cross the hi way!! On man its gets scary now!!
They run right along the hi way for about a 1/2 mile and when the yote crosses there is a van coming!! Libby is about 40 ft behind the yote and closing the gap!!
The Van splits the yote and hounds!! If that dont put knots in your stomach watching that!!!
well some how they all made it safe and Libby rolls the yote out in the field!!
I seen Sleepy and Liz do a summer sault when they crossed the ditch!! they hit it pretty hard!!
The yote got back up and was heading right for a house!! with the stags right on its butt!!
I get pulled in the drive !!now this is a all asphault drive way with nice flower beds and i pull up to the house and here comes the yote and hounds right at me!!
I am parked less then 10 ft from the back door and the yote went right pass me and the hounds caught it up against the house right next to me!!
I holler for yoter to get in and help me and see if he has a empty hole in his dog box!!
( he did) I grab the yote by the back of its neck and back and they start pulling hounds off!! ( Now this is alot live yote!! LOL)
They are in a flower bed up against the house!!
I get the yote in yoters dog box and all the stags loaded in my truck!! A little blood on the siding and one light bulb for a night light got broke!!
I nock on the door and no one home!! The guy in charge of the group that i was hunting with said that the guy that lives there would ok with this and he would call him and tell him what happened!! No time for pics on this catch!!
I loaded up and headed for home with some tired hounds!!
Yoter called me later and said they turned that yote loose later and turned some young hounds out to run it and it wouldnt run!! I had that yote off the stags in less then a min and that just shows how fast they put a yote down!! Sleepy and frosty were the main hounds on the head and they must of really put the clamps on it!!
Yoter said that the hounds caught one more after i left!! Now the 5 hour drive home!! The stags never stuck theirs heads out till i got gas 45 mins from home!!
4 catches in less then 2 hours with the same set really takes the goody out of them!!
I had today off so i run here at home which is friday and got after one!!
I turned Hunter,Digger and Sandy loose in my honey hole!!
Hunter opened on a cold track and 20 mins later they were jumped and heading south!!
They crossed east on the south side. I am by my self and its hard trying to stay with them!!
I finally see them cross south and head for a place on the south west corner where they like to cross!!
I am sitting there and can hear the hounds coming!! 10 mins later here comes the yote going to cross in front of me!! I get the stags to see it and send them!! the yote is angling and going to cross about a 1/4 in front of me!! All the stags head for the yote except Liz and Sleepy!! They run right down the road and was going to cut the yote off!! When the yote crossed the road liz was so close to Tboning it!! You couldnt of fit your hand between the two!!
All the hounds made it across the road!! There was a fence at the 1/2 mile line and am guessing the yote made the fence cause they all came back to the truck!! That yote won that race!!
The hounds never came out on that yote and i found them 3 miles to the east!! I am guessing there was 2 yotes and they took the other one!!
Its noon by then and time for lunch!!
