Getting some excersize!!
« on: March 11, 2009, 07:18:44 PM »
Wackmaster and I were over doing a little free drifting for steelies by Ringold area, when we saw this yote cruising the bank.  He wandered up the river's edge for a few hundred yrds. eyeballing the far bank, after about twenty minutes of con tinplating the swim he ventured out above us and ended up swimming right by us on his way across the Columbia.  It took him about 4-5 min. of heavy stoking to make it all the way.  I could of reached over the side of the boat a grabbed him.  It was pretty cool to see, I've seen deer and elk cross the river, but never a yote.

NO fish club in the boat  :chuckle: I use to check my trapline with a canoe and I have got many rats with my paddle while checking my traps.

He is a good looking dog for sure. Nice coat, but couldn't kill him after watching him for 20 min. just doing his thing while we were.  Pretty sure the fish-bat would have been sufficient enough, but I'm no killer.

Klick, good for you for not whacking him. I am and have always been a hunter, sometimes though you just have to kick back and watch nature unfold in front of you.

You can fish another 20 years and never have that happen again.

I had a black bear in Alaska do the same thing across the Big Susitna, it was a small bear fought the current for about 10 minutes and started going down, me and a fishing partner drove up to it, hooked his paw with the net and pulled him to shore. When he got on shore he actually looked back as if saying Thank You and walked off.
