[QUOTE="Rymart, post: 184532, member: 3688"] [b]Normal for me...[/b] OK, normal for me is the following: -Find a nice looking area. -walk in quietly and find a good place to sit. -Usually an area with a good overlook/view. -Usually with the wind either in my face or at least not at my back, but have tried that too. -Set up the shooting sticks and get the rifle ready. -Glass around and look for any rouge Yotes. -range a few prominent landmarks and get a mental map/plan in place for potential shots. -Let the area settle down a little. -Start off with some howls, but have never had a dog answer... -Then proceed to the distress calls in 1-3 minute sessions. with 3-5 minutes of silence between calls. -Try to move as little as possible. -Call and look around for 30 minutes. -Get frustrated and leave. -Repeat for several more stands. -Go home swearing that I am going to give up Yote hunting for good this time!!! *Repeat the sequence again on the following weekend... Seriously. Yesterday I had a friend along and we started everything as described above, but we each chose a zone that we would watch to limit movement. Then on my first two howls the reed hung up on me cutting off the sound. I used a few descriptive words to express my displeasure with the reed, then switched to a distress call. About 30 seconds into the call sequence I was startled by what could only be described as a shootout scene in a Rambo movie coming from my friends direction. I spun around in time to see a yote dive into a gully about thirty yards away and my buddy cussing his jammed AR-15 (thats after getting 10 shots off!). When the yote left the gully at 300 yards on a dead run I tried to stop it by barking, to no avail, and then emptied my heavy varmint rifle (338 LM, not my normal rig) at it. I may have caused some shrapnal damage on one of the 3 shots, but otherwise it was unharmed. Seriously though, yesterday was the exception and what was described above is pretty much normal for me. Ocassionally I do get a dog to come in, but not many. Guess I have a lot to learn. [/QUOTE]
