yet another great morning but a late start. 7:30am I get up, get ready and off to find a place where I could set up for a hunt or two. I got to a place where I have taken down 3 yotes and setup in a fence row with fields on both sides of me and started the set with distress Jack and after 25 minutes I decided to end that set and walk a bit farther back as there was a hardwood ridge and valley I could see back in the far field.
I got setup and decided to do a locate call starting off with the Lone howl a few times and then I sat quiet for about 3 minutes. After no sightings I turned on the distress Jack again on vol 20 and ran it for 10 seconds and volumed up to 25 and left that for about 20 seconds and then volumes up to 39 and left it for 30 seconds then back down in volume for about 15 seconds and pause.
After 3 minutes I decided to change to Lightning Jack which is a louder and longer cry and I turned up the volume to 24 and left it running for about 1 1/2 minutes and as I slowly scanned the wood line I spot a yote step out about 150-200 hundred away and stand looking.
I moved the tripod to the right as he was slightly up wind and steadied the the gun on the front shoulder and WAM ! The 270 WSM does it again.
Yote down around 9:00am
Great hunt on a great day
