Title: take the shot

Post by: chester on December 11, 2010, 01:55:21 PM: shoot the top one first then focus on the second. I figure taking the further one would leave me a chance to get the closer one while he is still in range.

Post by: the1rod on December 11, 2010, 01:55:35 PM: that would depend on why you are hunting them. if hunting for furs it would be the bigger top one. if hunting to reduce the population, then the smaller bottom one hopeing it is the female. if just for fun, then the top one just because hes bigger.

:yeah:

Post by: boneaddict on December 11, 2010, 02:01:14 PM: I picked the top one because it looked as if the fur is better. The bottom had more color though.

Post by: Gringo31 on December 11, 2010, 02:08:26 PM: Top on on the shoulder, clean up the bottom one next.

Beauty of a top dog. Bottom dog definitely has "color" but in yotes, the color red is usually bad.

Post by: boneaddict on December 11, 2010, 06:08:10 PM: Is the top dog the male?

Post by: DIGGER69R on December 11, 2010, 06:39:27 PM: close one in the head off the rock hitting the back one...one shot two kills ;)
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: singleshot12 on December 11, 2010, 06:42:17 PM: Yeah take the top one first, he looks to have a better coat too
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: gaddy on December 11, 2010, 06:50:16 PM: take the top one, he just looks like an arrogent *censored*.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: D-Rock425 on December 11, 2010, 06:57:42 PM: The red in the bottom one looks pretty nice.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: dscubame on December 11, 2010, 06:58:45 PM: C. either one just get both.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Huntbear on December 11, 2010, 07:00:54 PM: Top one first, then get the second one while still in range.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: bearhunter99 on December 11, 2010, 07:05:00 PM: I almost always take the furthest first, hoping for more of a chance at the nearer one, but these two are fairly close so it would be a toss up. Back yote is a little larger and looks to have a better coat so it would take the first bullet regardless. Of course the way I have been shooting lately they are both pretty safe unless someone will make me a deal on a mortar launcher :chuckle:

yeah that

Post by: carpsniperg2 on December 11, 2010, 11:15:49 PM: bottom one first for me, take care of the pup factory first :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: ICEMAN on December 12, 2010, 06:02:56 AM: Bottom one for me too. Take the closest/better odds shot first. If you take the higher shot, you may lose sight of the lower and lose any chance of a second kill...(in theory) (my theory not yours...) Be ready for the screaming wounded doggy call and see if you can stop the top dog for a second shot... Yipe, yipe, yipe!

Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Widgeondeke on December 13, 2010, 12:12:50 PM: top yote gets my first shot. I think it'd be easier to find the red one once it moves, Red isn't as good for camo. Also the red one is looking at me and may stick around longer. :twocents:
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: GoldTip on December 13, 2010, 12:43:02 PM: Top dog gets my first shot, mostly cuz he's bigger, make a better fur on the wall. I've never been lucky when shooting at two dogs of getting a second shot. Done very little calling myself, so it's been mostly a luck thing to find two dogs and have them standing still. Usually the second one is running like his tail is on fire after I shoot the first one.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Bofire on December 13, 2010, 03:59:31 PM: top first, pup yelps and second one, looks like cake to me. You always take the hardest shot first.(in this case both shots are easy but ya get my drift)

Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: jeepasaurusrex on December 13, 2010, 04:02:21 PM: Top one first. The human eye focuses from far to near quicker than near to far. Increased chance of a double.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: ser300wsm on December 13, 2010, 04:03:57 PM: I say top one first, then the bottom one. Why because i can.... :chuckle: Like the fur on the top one if im going to shoot one at all.... :twocents:
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: bearhunter59 on December 13, 2010, 04:05:30 PM: if their both looking at you, take the top dog first. The lower dog won't see the top dog get hit and won't know what happened and which way to run. Hit the lower dog first, and the top dog will see exactly what happened because he was looking that way and could see the lower dog get hit.

Same thing with shooting birds; hit the back ones first. hit the front ones first and the whole flock scatters. hit the back ones first, and the ones in the front don't even know whats going on.

thats a interesting way to look at it, i had never thought about it that way.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Buckmark on December 13, 2010, 04:46:53 PM: I'd take the top one, my partner the lower one, on 3,2,1 bang
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: wapiti hunter2 on December 13, 2010, 04:59:55 PM: Bottom. Better more unusual color.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: steen on December 13, 2010, 05:02:23 PM: I like the coat of the front one, so I'd shoot that one first. The top one looks bigger but I'm all for coat color and my nieghbor want a pelt. If I get another shot, bonus.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: BoomWhop on December 13, 2010, 05:02:59 PM: I need the biggest target I can get. :chuckle:
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Pathfinder101 on December 13, 2010, 08:42:09 PM: Top dog gets it. Man, look at the fur on him... I think I'd have to rug him out...
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: bearslayer on December 18, 2010, 05:24:33 PM: I would take the bottom one,that one looks more wary and ready to run. The best for last :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: wsucowboy on December 18, 2010, 05:42:43 PM: top one first and then try to get the bottom one.

Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: granola/hippyslayer on January 01, 2011, 06:29:46 PM: bottom first then top guaranteed less pups that way.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: adamR on February 02, 2011, 08:38:14 PM: top one, bigger, prettier, possibly longer time to shoot the bottom one after taking the top one first
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: HornHoarder on February 02, 2011, 08:50:40 PM: Take the closest one first because that should be the easiest shot. You need to focus on killing one before worrying about killing two.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Kent Hunter on February 03, 2011, 07:22:29 PM: Top one. I personaly like the yotes that are more grey. The "cream" colored ones are my favorite.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: jaymark6655 on February 08, 2011, 09:44:30 PM: Bottom one. Recoil should put me right on the top one if he hesitates even half a second. If not at least I have got a cool loking pelt.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: OSCAR1987 on February 08, 2011, 10:25:54 PM: I would shoot the top one first because his attention seems focused more forward. Look at his ears. The bottom one is listening for the yote behind (her). When she hears the shot she might pause a second or look away to see what happened behind her and give a shot for the double.

looks good on paper ;)
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: Machias on February 10, 2011, 08:55:56 AM: Since I'm using a shotgun and they are within 20 yards, I'll smoke the top dog first and then smack the second one in the hind end before it gets out of range. ;)

I need the biggest target I can get. :chuckle:

That's what I was thinking! :chuckle: Or the one that hold still longer than .3 seconds as coyote's never seem to.

I've missed plenty of yote's and I swear I must have parted the hair on their belly. Bigger target get's my vote.
Title: Re: take the shot
Post by: ZogTheFuzzy on February 10, 2011, 10:14:25 PM: I pick the bottom one. It's closer...easier to hit!
