Same place 2nd day no# 3

Post by Adrian J Hare »

I got up at first light and headed back to the same place this morning and when I got there I spotted another yote in the same feild as I got one yesterday. Tried to do a sneek around behind the barn but when I rounded the barn the wind was so bad and cold that my eyes watered so bad I could not see. I however noticed that the yote I had tried to move on was no where in sight :cool:

I tried a little calling and nothing so I went back to the truck and moved up the road and on the other side of the road. There a creek bottom with a think run of cedars and scrub running into a swamp but the wind was not right blowing from me to the woods. I decided to go anyway and tried to do a cross wind set.

My set was close to the end of the thickets along some red gads and the wind was blowing straight into the red gads so I turned on the caller on 38 to start as the wind was blowing bad. DTS Jack rabbit and played it for 2.5 minutes and stopped. I waited about 1 minute and thought I would try a female howl and as I grabbed the Quaker Boy female open reed I looked up to see 2 Yotes down wind of me allready running back towards the red gads , so I swung with the bipod and Barked loud and one disapeared and the female stopped right at the edge to look back and the Rem 788 - 243 was set on the shoulder and down she went.

Tried the Kihi for a minute but the other did not come back out. As I thought that I only called for a few minutes I howled and barked and followed with a short Kihi and waited. After 2 minutes of silents I started to do the DST Jack again. I glanced around and over my shoulder and theres a yote walking into the wind behind me about 250 yds but it can not hear the caller for the wind. I swung around and barked and it stopped and I forgot to allow for the wind drift and settled on the shoulder with the cross hairs and squeezed to find I missed as the cross wind was just to hard.

Anyways I got another and there is more yet in this new place so I stopped by 3 different adjoining farms and asked permission and got all three of them so I can now call from better locations down wind of the area...

Great story & pic!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
