Title: Interesting and unexpected yote experience today *update*
Post by: huntingbaldguy on March 09, 2015, 11:45:15 PM: I went to scout a new deer spot today on some nearby land in Pierce County. While hiking back i got about half a mile in and all of a sudden all hell broke loose. About 50 yards to my front left came a yip yip howl. 2 seconds later came a response from front right about the same distance. Then another response from far far away behind me. What did i walk into? I left without incident but the howls went on for 2 to 3 minutes as i was backing out with my side arm drawn. Did they have a kill, just being territorial, or what was it?

First one for sure a yote, opinions on the 2nd? Dog or yote?

I was thinking not hairy enough ears and not quite big enough.

Post by: tallcooljuan on April 16, 2015, 07:05:06 AM: Funny. The first picture you'd say, "coyote for sure." Second one you'd say, "dog for sure." If it's up to no good, shoot it and find out.

Post by: huntingbaldguy on April 17, 2015, 01:27:53 AM: I need to move this cam farther in. Too many dogs. Got yotes on 2 other days, and lots of deer when they show up (when 1 deer shows up, 4 or 5 more are with it). I just think it's too close to the dirt road to get consistent action.
