More yotes take dirt nap (video link added)

Me and my buddy have been working on coyotes as often as possible but with little luck. Friday evening via text we decided maybe early morning might prove successful.

I arrived at his house at 4:30 and he drove us to the first property to see what we could accomplish. We got one headed our way as we stand prepared in the shadows from a full moon. The light breeze shifted on us and the yote decided not to come into range. As were leaving we spotted 2 on an adjacent property he has access to so we snuck in and set up in the shadows again. Nope, not going to come to us. A 3rd property that has been good proved to be fruitless as the Sun sneaks up on the horizon.

The 4th property I spotted one moving in the timber we are planning to watch. We scurry in to position now in the shade from the sun. Fired up at low volume, a dying rabbit. Maybe 4 minutes in 2 yotes pop out of further timber at a gallop about 150yds out. They rounded the bend and came into view again at about 90yds. I whispered "I'll take the 2nd one" of course they traded position but there wasn't time to change plans. I attempted to stop them with a kiss sound. One stopped the lead dog only slowed. Only one shot was heard as we squeezed the triggers at the same time.

A nano second from catching lead.

The ensuing laugh and fist bump probably negated the chances of any other yotes from coming in.

Nicely done! Breeding season can make for some tough calling, you might try howling this time of year. Works great for me.

Howling has been working but not like it did last year. Been a strange season, primarily the weather I believe.
