Man this has been the best 5 day stretch I've ever had. We usually are lucky if we run one a weekend, just don't have alot of yotes yet. I started out on Wednesday by myself with Sticker, Razzle & Streaker. They jumped one in the big woods & ran it about 5 hours before it gave them the slip. I never got to see it.
Thursday hunted by myself again, ran till about 3:00 seen it but couldn't get a shot.
Friday Adam hunted with me same dogs, Streaker & Razzle jumped one & ran it several loops when I heard the dogs coming toward me, I just started to get my gun off my shoulder & it was coming right at me about 40 yards. Then my phone rings, the yote does a 180 & was hauling it out of there I managed to get one shot off at it as it was going out of sight. It was Adam calling me to let me know the yote was coming my way. They ran it around several more loops till about 1:00 before it gave them the slip.
Saturday Adam & Trapper Mike came along. Sticker jumped the yote & hammered it up the hill along a strip job right to Trapper Mike. He couldn't shoot at first because it was coming straight on & Sticker was right behind it. It finally broke right & he let 2 fly. Razzle & Streaker joined the chase. Adam was watching some turkey's feeding around when they started flying everywhere. A second smaller yote came running through the turkeys. He got 2 shots off at it. I told Trapper Mike to go across the strip That the yote would come out over there. He just got where he wanted to be & he heard a bark behind him. The smaller yote was standing behind him. He wheeled around the yote found several gears He let 2 fly at it. I went up the hill across the strip & I spotede the big yote in a patch of woods. I couldn't get a shot a couple of minutes go by & it breaks out across a powerline. I let 2 fly at it. A couple of hours later, no yotes.
Sunday Just me & Trapper Mike. Left Razzle at home, her feet were pretty sore. Sticker jumped the yote & was running. A different yote came out in a field by Trapper Mike. It was about 200 yards away. What a day to bring a shot gun, LOL. After several hours of running, A guy called & said he had Streaker. He crossed 2 sections. I told him to keep him there & I wold be over to get him. I started back to the truck & I checked to see where Sticker was he was close, I had my tracking stuff in my hands & I heard him bark & here came the yote running past me,LOL. I dropped the tracker got my gun from my shoulder but it was too late it was gone. Lots of running, seen plenty of yotes, Lots of shootin & didn't have to skin any. Had a great time.
