| What kind of luck do you think I would have say around mid afternoon calling for yotes? |

Three weeks ago I walked up on one at 2pm but was not quick enough to get a shot off. This was less than 75 yards from our camp where we had been working most of the morning. It did not even run away, just slinked off the trail into the shit.
Last saturday a buddy over in Alabama ran head on into one bee-boppin down a trail off Lake Martin at around the same time of day. My encounter was around a full moon and his was on a near new moon. We did not jump them off a bed or anything, they were just doing yote stuff in broad daylight. I also have them denned up in a woodlot about 150 yards from my house in the burbs of metro atl and they made the local news twice in the last week. We are seeing fewer deer and less sign of them of late and more yotes, scat and tracks. We are going to have to get serious soon. |
| You will do fine. I hunt whatever part of the day I can - I'll happily hunt noon just as much as I will 6am. Things are about to get a whole lot busier, too, as the pups are going to start getting kicked out of the dens in about another month. Pups = dumb = happy hunting. |

I've caught them napping or scrounging for food in fields during all hours of the day, although crops and plant growth can make them harder to spot.
Staking out field lanes and water-ways works well this time of year. Just be patient and think like a coyote; they're used to seeing farm-like activity and vehicles. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
