Collared Yote

Came in on the decoys during this mornings turkey hunt.  Anyone have experience with this, or know what I should do? I plan to call WDFW, and possibly UW? (it was on the tag). Thanks.

Thanks.  I didn't know what to do with him, he was shot with a turkey load at 6 yards and it made quite the hole.  It was also a bit of gut as he was scooting, and smelled horrendous.  I would have loved to make a wall hanger of him, but it was pretty bad.  I really hope I can get info on him. YouTube video will come in the future!

Hard to complain about wdfw not managing wildlife scientifically if one wilfully interferes with scientific data collection.

Thank you for this.  I have sent them an email, and explained what happened.  I told them if they need GPS coordinates, pics, the collar, etc. to just let me know.  I also requested any info they have on that coyote.

A few years ago I was hunting Bear Mountain on the Loop Loop and had a muley doe and her young one run by me only 50 yards or so away, then right behind them came two yotes, just pushing them, I put one down and couldn't get a shot at the second, wish I'd had my semi auto with me for that one! Just had to go to a bolt action cause I couldn't afford all the bullets I was shooting! But man that semi was fun!
