I had a scary encounter with a pack of yotes a couple of weeks ago. My wife has just started bowhunting with me and this was her first trip in her climber. So I was standing at the bottom of her tree (my bow and stand were 15 yards away at the base of the tree I was going to hunt). I was tying on her bow when I hearn what sounded like a fawn in distress tape followed by something running in the leaves. I look up and there is a yote heading straight for me with 3 more behind him. I freeze and the yote runs up to about 10' and then he sees me and stops. I jumped at him and he turned and growled and loped off about 10 yards and then slowed down still growling and then he loped over to his buddies and they started circling us andbefore finally headingoff. Let's just say I was seriously wishing I had my bow in my hands at the time
