this is my first yote hunt

i was with my freind and we where out by a river. we hade one in sight but not in range. we hered some leafes rustlinf to our left. we looked over and saw a huge yote! he was about ten feet away! he had his head down looking at us. his tail was down his ears where pointed back! he was growling very loudly. i grabed my 10/22 witch i was using as a side arm and shot him right in the forehead. we followed blood about 50 yards but never found the yote where the blood stoped!
