Perhaps if I work my charm, I might be able to hunt a few other critters on there (tons of swamp land along with river frontage, etc...bears anyone?! :drool: ). Once I get over there (hopefully in a few weeks) I will post some pics...
This should be a kick!

All I know is...it sounds like a sweet freaking gig...
but its near the coast..which will be a bit of a drive for killing yotes...still...I think if I do a good job, I can work out a bear kill or something along those lines..if not..at least I can blast some yotes.

I am sure some of us near the coast would be willing to share the gas bill! :chuckle:

my .300 wsm for example (bears are there)...and a .22, just thought it would be fun to try and get a head shot with the .17. ;)

and I didnt think you were being an arse. ;) I am pretty sure I would only try headshots with the .17...I am bringing the range of guns cause I am not sure what the terrain will offer...so I wanted a few options.

Downpouring starts...hunt most of the afternoon, evening till dark...downpours all night...
Morning, 600 am, the yotes are howling...off i go...downpouring...
Packed up to leave late morning...still downpouring...(wasnt too prepared for all the rain)
Had one group of yotes call to me from across the river last night...
and 5 other group of howls this morning, but I just couldnt get them to come in. I think the land (where I was sitting) made it too difficult for them to get to me (river here, small channel there..etc)..
did call in several blacktail though...think I will just predator call this year elk hunting/deer hunting...as that always seems to get them to come in.
I did get to check out the Cabelas in Lacey though, so that was cool.

Had about the same luck. Did not get to hunt much though.
Will be hitting it for the day tomorrow, just not sure where. Ususally have a partner, but not anymore, so I am winging it.

Now some "better" callers then myself might say I am wrong, but I would suggest looking at some aerial photos now that you have an idea of the lay of the land. You already realise that it may be hard for them to come in and you may be able to find ways to "help them help you". lol
Good luck on the next trip.

Stupid predator calling...I bought Calling All Coyotes 3 while at Cabellas...freakin Primos is making their money off me...
:)
And then theres you, who gets a yote while just hangin out...;) I was just glad I got responses back from them, it is always exciting to hear it.

Yea, just hangin' out, some would say that. :hello:
Truth is about the last 3 were all hard earned in some way or another. If it were only easy. :chuckle:

What a bust. Made a few stands, but no action.
