Title: Trouble with Yotes on west side
Post by: cky2k897 on January 04, 2011, 02:35:54 PM: Hey guys new to the forum and WA state Hunting, all my hunting has been done in Kansas up to this point. Im hunting with a buddy who is from texas where he did all his hunting and between the two of us we should be able to clean up nice but thats not the case. We sure havnt found the honey holes yet we have been from pac state forest up in elbe to capitol forest and some places around my House out in ROY. WE are using calls that have brought in yotes at home and calling times that have put good numbers for us just not here. We are Usually starting around Lunch time and calling till around 4 430 we are just going with what worked for us in the past. Im just wondering if anyone can help me out here been out 7 or 8 times and havnt even seen a dang dog :>:(. Whats the best time to start calling around here and some general areas that people have been or go would be nice... O and IM calling with a night and Hale cotton tail and my buddy has a few calls he is using. Thanks in advance guys

Where you don't encounter Yotes this time of year, you may in spring or summer. They're pretty smart to not kill all the food, so they move dens and to different hunting ground.

Go to bird sounds also. in tight cover call quiet for a while, then go loud. I assume good camo and not moving. good luck! DO NOT MISS
