I would equate that to hitting the lotto if you are successful, let us know if you try it.

The perks of your best friend and his family working as deer proccessors during the season.
Now, maybe setting up over multiple is only like hitting a few numbers, I'm not sure. But I assure you, and GMMAT that they don't only feed at night. I think you know that, though.

RE: Predator hunting with your bow?
Never have, but thats a good idea. I left two gutpiles in a cut cornfield this season, they were cleaned up in a day or two.
Jeff, I see coyotes all the time in daylight here and have killed two with my bow over the years, one from the ground. So I assume coyotes will feed in daylight in NC also. Besides, I've been told that the yotes mating season is generally in late December. A few years ago I witnessed coyotes chasing each other around a small finger of brush for at least a half hour. Looked like they were playing ring around the rosie.

I don't know, just starting to get in to predator hunting, I look forward to reading more replies on this as I plan on getting more serious about predator hunting next year, and doing more of it with my bow.

RE: Predator hunting with your bow?
I'm just saying...setting up within bow range of a deer carcass (not a processor dump site where years worth of training teaches em free food there)...well, you'd be darn lucky.
I'd think you would have a MUCH, MUCH better chance trying to call them in to bowrange than waiting at a deer carcass. In fact, I think it was Randy Anderson who just made an archery only predator calling DVD a year or two ago. I havent seen it yet, but if its predator hunting and Randy Anderson is talking, its worth listening to, he knows his stuff.
They feed and are active during the daytime but obviously prefer the night, much like a deer.
Maybe try calling one in AT the deer carcass, two birds with one stone.
I dont know much about them either, other than they are pretty darn hard to hunt.

RE: Predator hunting with your bow?
Gota carcass pileout right now that has been established and is getting hit good by yotes. My experience with predators is that you have to hunt them over a carcass at night. Good luck. Wait till snow on the ground(u may have 2 wait a while down there??) and you can see quite well at night. Setup a blind so that they get used to it and slip in one night. I will be going out one of these nights myself.

First year dump site. But I see what you're saying.

Absolutly, but....location[:-]j/k kinda

Not here. More active during the afternoon (9-12). Feeding, or just running around.
Maybe try calling one in AT the deer carcass, two birds with one stone.
Exactly. Now you got it.
I dont know much about them either, other than they are pretty darn hard to hunt.
I'd say, but darn fun.
