Title: Any yotes near ft lewis?
Post by: fluentvoo on November 27, 2007, 08:57:40 AM: I've been calling for yotes in the GP forest, and have had 2 show up in the past 5 outings. It takes about an hour to get to the area I have been going. I live 5 minutes from the pheasant release site on Ft. Lewis, and have often wondered if there are yotes around there. Or yotes close to that area. Or yote hunting areas near roy/yelm/graham/spanaway. Anyone have any sightings? or suggestions? Thanks!

We had a greenbelt called Ferrels Marsh that bordered the base, my friends and I used to sneek onto the base through a hole in the fence. We saw a lot of coyotes, and big deer in there.
