Default It just wouldnt die!!!!

i was hunting yotes last weekend in ohio and i shot one with my 12g. an i went up to where i shot it and there was blood and hair every where so i started to track it for about 1 mile i had a really good blood trail then over the next few miles it slowed and it layed down 9 times and bled pretty good then after the last place it layed down a couple hundred more feet i couldnt find any more blood but i still followed the tracks till i lost the trail. what a shame i couldnt find it i hope i have better luck next time. it was 6 shot

Yotes are pretty tough cookies. I've heard stories of a few that were hit in head but just refused to die. [:-]

Yeah, I believe it. One time me and my buddy were out yote calling. We called in a double and they came into about 250 yards. Me buddy took 6 shots before dropping one with is 243. He went out and picked him up and brought him back and layed him down. I was looking close and saw that the damn thing was blinking and breathing. So we shot him with the twelve guage and the yote jumped up and started growlin. It took three more shots to finally kill him. It was crazy, we got it all on video.

The first yote I shot was with a .270 at about 250 yards in WV. I hit it high right behind the shoulder, and it took off yipping and screaming. It slowed down at about 200yds and I shot again...hitting it in the stomach area. It then began tumbling and running down hill...still towards me. The third shot at about 100yds hit it square in the neck...it never moved again.

One tough puppy.

While out lamping once we shot a fox with a .243 at about 60yds. It ran on and we chased it and managed to hit it with the truck. We were 100% certain it was dead but when we reached the farm it was breathing again! A lump of wood finished the whole affair.

Ummm... last time I checked, running over your quarry with a vehicle was a felony.

Sorry ks_sniper, I live in england where it is perfectly legal, obviously we dont make a sport out of it but it is just a quick as chasing it, jumping out and giving it another shot with the rifle or shotgun.
