[QUOTE="Broz, post: 258094, member: 7503"] [b]Re: How Bout Some Tips on Yote Calling.[/b] Man, I am getting my butt kicked at this. But I will stay with till I figure out what I am doing wrong. Yesterday morning I woke at 5am to 6" of fresh snow and it has been cold all week. I headed out to where I know there are yotes. 2 miles from where I was going to make the first stand,, big ozark hill, non graded country road and this area got 1/4" of ice under the snow. My 3/4 ton 4x4 spun out 1/2 way up the hill then promptly slid backward off the shoulder of a steep bank. I walked to the nearest farm house at first light. While I was talking with the farmer at the back door I spotted 3 yotes playing grab *** (breading season) about 700 yards behind his house. I was invited in for coffee and we contacted the county to see when they would plow the road so I could get my truck out. They said afternoon. It was now 9:00 and the yotes had been gone for 2 hours. The farmer told me to get my stuff and go get em. I walked back to the truck, got my rifle and caller ( FP Fury) and headed in. I was very cautious. Stayed in the trees next to a creek and the wind in my face. About 500 yards past where we last seen the yotes. I set up.
