Well Tuesday was much the same as Sunday, a bunch of miles walked and not even a sighting but things picked up this morning. I spotted a yote before I even got to the bush, the chase was on and it was quite the chase with everyone except me getting a crack at the yote before it finally was brought down for good. A nice red female, the red ones go for penny's at the sale.

We drove around for a bit trying to find a track but it didn't happen so we just picked a bush, I was only in the bush a short time and the radio reported a yote had squirted out the other side and ran into a large hardwood/pine mixed bush. Soon I was on the track and at the other bush were the yote tried to loose me by backtracking and going in and out of several brush piles, I radioed for some help and the first brush pile my buddy came to he seen the yote looking out at him and it was off again. It circled around us be we had a guy sitting back door and he made the shot count, a nice gray female.

Looks like we might loose all the snow in the next couple of days but I will be praying we don't as I am not ready to quit chasing yet!!!

really, the red ones aren't worth anything? I might as well keep mine then, no sense giving it away when its as big as it is. Dwarfs the other coyotes I got skinned.

Well even though it was a real nasty day and most of our snow is gone we still headed out to try and chase some yotes around. First run produced nothing and on our way to a second bush we spotted one out in a field, the chase was on!! We had it running around for a while then it made a mistake and headed out on a fence line where I was waiting, rolled it on my first shot but it got up and headed for the next bush with three more of my shots not finding the mark. Ends up I did hit it again but low in the leg and it had no effect. The tracking job was short as it had piled up within the first 15yds of hitting the bush. As we were tracking this one a report came of another coyote heading out of the block to the west so we already had another yote to chase. We chased it for a while and it should have been dead but a couple of guys figured they would rather shoot the air around him..... lol. The one I got was a blondy as was the other one, two blonds hanging together, one dumb blond and a smart one if there ever was one lol. I still can't get my camera to upload pic's to my puter so have to settle for some more crappy cell pics.

I'm thinking of getting this one tanned up as the blond/red ones are worth squat and it is my first blond one. I would eventually like to have one of every color phase tanned, so after this one I just need a black one and maybe a light gray one. I already have a grey/brown one done.

Well finally I get some time to update, between midnight shift and hunting 4 days in a row lets just say I was a little tired.

Monday, family day the weekend crew decided we would give it a go, with high winds and blowing snow the dog kept loosing the track out in the fields but as soon a he would hit the bush he would pick it up again no problem. The coyote was just toying with us and just doing circles around the dog and guys so it was time to jam some guys in from all sides and it worked and he popped out within minutes of us entering the bush. He should have been dead but like I have said before there is a lot of air around these yotes and a couple guys couldn't put him down. We could only hunt until noon so we had to leave him for another day.

Tuesday was a beauty day and we were onto tracks right away although our first run we didn't get anything going, there was so many tracks it was hard to determine just exactly where they were but it didn't take us long and we found them. I had not been in the bush for more than 40yds and we had yotes running, one got behind us and three were running out in front of us. The blockers had a crack at the two and one crossed the road and the other headed right back into one of the guys dogging and he put it down, our first mangy one of the year. I didn't get a pic of it as it was left were it lay and I didn't feel like walking an extra 300 yds to get a pic. We went after the one that crossed the road but it went into a really dirty bush with to many tracks and we couldn't get it to move. So after the other one we went and within the hour we had it down a really nice big male.

Wednesday, was another beauty day, after locating a track we circled the block to see if it had left and I spotted a pair of yotes on a fence line, game on!! Not long in we had two yotes on the run and I figured it was the two I had seen but within a few more yds traveled I seen another two heading to the east. The blockers were treated to a unusual run and had 4 yotes try to get out, two were successful crossing and the other two turned back and split up one running out a fence line were a blocker was waiting and he put it down the other got away to the north. We go after the pair that got across first and one was taken down shortly after we got in and the second crossed back into the original block so in we went this time it came down a fence line to me and I let fly, well on my 4th shot at 282 yds running dead away I connected and we had our third yote of the day. We had not had enough yet and decided to go for the yote that went north, it didn't take long and we had him running around and he ran right back into one of the guys and our hunt was over for the day with 4 yotes on the ground.

Thursday we had some snow falling in the morning so finding a track was not going to happen so we just picked a bush but nothing moved, we decided to head to another area and on the way we cut a very fresh track, we got lucky. In we went and had two yotes lift up and run into a ravine one cut back and right into one of the doggers and he put it down. We chased the other around for the better part of the day and finally gave up after 3pm. Sorry but I didn't get a picture of the yote we did get this day. Seven yotes in three days and a few that got away as well, it was a good week and we will see what tomorrow brings. If the wind dies we should be onto some good tracks.

280 yards running shot is very difficult. How much where you leading him? I find I gotta lead them like 3' at that distance when they are running, I must not be swinging the gun very much.

Believe me it was a hail mary last attempt and I figured I was going to get it from the guys. He was running straight away, I put it 1 1/2'-2' over his head and squeezed it off. Bullet entered mid to low back and never exited, zero pelt damage and the yote never budged after he stopped rolling. It was my fourth shot at him with the first being about 70yds.
