I posted about this last week and people were assuming we didn't have a season here in New Jerkey I mean Jersey (but no open season, yet). The problem is when they live in arears you can't hunt even with a bow such as parks, small wood lots in neighborhoods it makes it hard to kill them when they are sneaking around at night.. On top of it you can't use a rifle on them at night (shotgun only) but you can during the day with a 100grain bullet or less. I personally had one in my scope during shotgun season while doing a deer drive. Me and a friend saw the tracks in the snow and I knew from how hard it was snowing that it wasn't far in from of us. When i got about 100yrds from it I laid down to take the shot and my buddie put his hand over my scope! I whispered to him "what the
!@#* are you doing he replyed "I can't let you shoot someones dog" I said man I am a taxidermist and I KNOW A YOTE when I see one. He actually casted doubt in my mind for a second only because it must have weighed 60-70 pounds! It was the biggest one I have ever seen! I think it would have been some kind of record or something. They said our yotes in Jersey are wolf hybrids that is why they are so big. Mind you these things just started shoing up in huntable #s just a few years ago. There is chatter about the state F&Wreleasing them in the southern part of NJ but i don't know what to believe?
