Cabin-Fever!... Thinking about yote's with the bow
 

Never tried this... people I talk to say it's impossible with a bow because of the lightening-fast reflexes of a yote. I was drawn on one at 15 yards last year but never pulled the trigger like an idiot, so I never got to test that theory.

Seeing as I don't have the hunt out of my system yet from this past season, I'm thinking about sitting in my tree and calling in some yotes to try with a bow.

Any advice?

Sounds like fun;)

There are guys around here who take them all the time with their bows so it is not impossible. Most take them during deer season when they are up in a tree stand but I know a few guys who do team hunting of them. one guy calling them in and another guy located nearby in a ground blind or something like that. I never really have had the urge to go yote hunting, could have taken several foxes during deer season if I had wanted to (And hit them).

Bob, those dang things are shifty as heck, and don't stop long enough to get a shot off it seems. I was bowhunting in a stand this year and I caught a glimps at a yote off in the distance and I took my cow call out and made a few squeals and that dang thing came within 15 yrds of my stand and then looked around and started to take off and then I called again and it came back, but after about the third time that yote wised up and knew something wasn't just right. I didn't want to shoot him but even if I did want to, I could never of gotten a shot off because it kept ferreting in and out of the bush. It did have a good winter coat and hydes are going for $65.00.
Make sure you stick em good cause I'd be dang if I'd go up to a wounded yote and try to get my arrow back and I wouldn't recommend bull dogging it down and slicing its throat either. :D Good Luck, Bobby

The yote I drew on this past season came into my mock scrape. He was with four other yotes all trolling through the woods at a good clip when he got down wind enough to catch the scent of the doe in heat urine I had put out that morning. He whirled and ran into the scrape, stopped with his head down sniffing. By this time I was at full draw, pin just behind the shoulder. I guess it's possible.

I have taken two yote`s with a bow. One last yr and one this past season and also I was lucky enuff to take a red fox this past season. The fox was est.30yrds away and was actualy tugging at the ear of a nice 7pt that i had taken about 1-hr before. The two yotes was each less than ten yrd away from my tree when i shot them. They are very alert animals and jump at just about any sound. But shooting less than 10yrds? They never had time to react. Nether one of them ever knew I was there.
But going out just to hunt them? Maby from a blind at eye level with one of them? I don`t know :eek:. That would be something different all together[&:] .... rta47

Not Impossible at all, if the Range is within reason. I Missed a Dandy in Archery Season by Mere Inches at 30 Yard's. He was concentrating on sneaking Up on a Couple Dink Deer. The Shot and Miss never Phased Him One Iota. Im Glad to Report that his Luck Ran Out however in the Muzzle Loader Season, when I dumped him at 70 Yards with my Knight .50. Any Good HOYT should Do![:D

This was from a Double Bull .

i have shot one with the bow during deer season. however i do call them all through the winter and of the 18 i got this year i bet i could have got at least 4 with my bow, the others where all between 100-200 yards so maybe i could have called in some a little closer,

$65 for a yote? where are you at? i got about $8-15 for just the yote and maybe $30 or 40 for a skinned one[:@]

It is very possible I have taken yotes with bow durring archery deer season,it's a blast..I found that a fawn or doe bleet works well for them.
