[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 435967, member: 2011"] Benson, Just get out there and go at it. After absorbing all of the above mentioned good advice. You'll be training your yotes but you'll be getting some education yourself.:) Stealth during approach to your set is imperative. If they start barking/howling as you go in......you're busted! But you will know where they are. The yotes live there. They know their way around the area. They don't observe boundaries as humans do. A barb wire fence is no barrier to them. A sheep fence is. They will learn the 'holes' in these. (A good place to watch) They will always take the easiest path between two areas. Most always a trail. They will walk human paths, even very recently made, hoping for a hunk of Snickers bar. Really! Camo up and cover hands and face. Don't move. If things are as "close" as you mention, a shot gun may be a better rig than a rifle. In the open of WY there is usually more time to get prepared for the shot. In your situation, same as mine in the river bottoms, there's I'd say less than a 2 second window to spot the yote and make the shot. Except when walking/stalking or ambush. If there are pheasants around listen for the cackle, the one they make when they are being hassled. Oh, and don't call too loud. I heard what must have been a 300 watt, dolby surround sound system out back one day while doing a walk and stalk. I saw several yotes hi - tailing it out of the area when that thing was lit off.:D Didn't get a shot at either one.:rolleyes: But I shot anyway just to **** the idiot off.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
