3 dog day (yotes)

Warning: Dumb city boy question to follow!

What do you do with them after you shoot them?

Leave em' lay for bait. Shoot the others that come to eat off the dead. Or... some people skin em' for the fur.

Make sum yote jerky!

coyote fur is mostly used in the (trim trade) like on parka hoods jackets and coats. better quality coyote from western U.S. some times made into full length coats. Joe Nameth can often be seen wearing coyote at NFL games.

Anyone ever watched that Meateater episode where they roasted that coyote over an open flame

 

[mom45]

He went out last night to try to call some in before dark. He called in an owl using the rabbit sound on the game caller but no yotes. He said it was pretty darn cool watching the owl fly past his head twice though! It landed in a tree behind him and looked and looked for the rabbit. After not finding it, it flew back to the same tree it had come out of.

Yeah, that is cool! I had a barred owl knock my hat off a few years ago. I was using a mouth call and just happened to see something in the very top of my vision, looked up a little and here is this owl about 4 feet away with his talons out! I think me and the owl both said "oh ****" at the same time. I had just enough time to lean over a little and he was able to pull his feet up a bit but he still hit my head hard enough to remove my hat, net, and the beanie under neath it all. Owl perched in a tree right close by and had a real WTF? look on his face! Didn't get any yotes that evening but had one heck of a smile!

But mud is good for the complexion!

What time do you guys typically hunt?

 

[mom45]

The first two my husband shot were at 12:30 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. (same night hunt...he stayed out all night). The last one he shot at 9:40 p.m.

The coyote on the cameras now seem to be passing through around 4:30 a.m. so he is planning to get up around 2 and head out unless it is too foggy to see.

For me its more of a matter of finding the time. I've had the best luck late afternoon/evening and then again late night. Haven't had a much luck in the period from about 2 hours or so after full dark to about 2 hour before first light.

Hubby is out again now. He is not computer literate so he left me his camera cards to view but apparently decided there were enough tracks that he needed to be out there. I would text him to see how long he plans to stay, but his phone is laying on the table in here so I guess that just won't happen.

I did find these and lots more pictures on the one camera though

That first one is one mighty meaty looking coyote.

No kidding. That thing looks huge

 

[mom45]

Hubby came in and asked if I had a big dog on the camera card because there were huge foot prints out there. I showed him that picture, and he just shook his head...he was not out there at the right time. Nothing was moving this evening and now it is too cloudy to see anything.

I have no idea how many we have. There were at least three different ones on this card and he has shot three in the past few weeks. He also found one along the road that somebody hit not far from us. Another guy is trapping not far from here and has had several.

 

[mom45]

Here is a closer shot of him. He looks like a well fed German Shepherd!

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

Pic #1 is a huge yote! Maybe a coydog?

 

[Rookie]

That coyote has been around for a while!

 

[mom45]

He looks old to me. His hair is much rougher than most of the others we've been seeing. The three he has shot all had beautiful pelts.
