shepp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Nice!!!! Do yote's normally look like that out there??
gnatshooter Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 The first picture in post #3 of this thread has something that looks odd to me. There's a guy shooting off of a table. It looks like he has a scope mounted on top of a scope. What's up with that?

bubbasks Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Nice!!!! Do yote's normally look like that out there?? Yep scroney vultures. Nothin like Texas
bubbasks Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Was a straight on shot at 200yds from hill to hill. Chest was prolly 8-10in wide. Entry through chest and out behind the ribs.
Robocop1051 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 Was the hide worth keeping? I've never really seen a good yote hide in Cali. Most of the time they are covered in fleas and ticks, with large patches of hair missing. Damn things are closer to the rat family than the dog family. CO, MT, ID, WY and UT... Those are some nice yote hides. Especially the winter coats. There's a pretty big trade value for them too! I tried to buy a yote jacket once, but the damn thing ended up being like $3k. Same guy had a buffalo coat for $3k also... That one was so nice I was actually contemplating it.
Sisco Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 A Wisconsin Yote in my front yard last year. They are getting big!

Rob we were getting 40$ a pelt this winter, if a yote here looked like that it would be seriously sick Like our previous discussions, the Eastern coyotes are now pretty much wolf/coyote hybrids, plus cold weather selects for larger body size among animals. By the way Bubba, looks like a fun weekend, congrats, glad you had a good time. Snow and rain here, staying close to the fireplace.
seasprite Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 Bubba, that looks to be a great place to shoot. Wish I could find some land out here like that.
sketch Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 ^+1 I can dig the Rollin hills !!! Nice shot! No .50 bmg ;)
Robocop1051 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Rob we were getting 40$ a pelt this winter, if a yote here looked like that it would be seriously sick Nope. Not here. Cali yotes are rarely over 45 lbs. We don't have many wild, or free range, pack animals for the coyotes to pick off the sick and young. Once in a while they'll grab a new calf on a ranch, but they mainly live off scavenging. Ranchers out here cull the yote population on their property pretty regularly. We just don't have a healthy habitat for a pack carnivore. ^+1 I can dig the Rollin hills !!! Nice shot! No .50 bmg ;) He's right Bubba. It's gotta happen... on video!

bubbasks Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Posted April 29, 2014 Oh and speaking of. Apparently the scope on the 50 is fine. The issue I had was that the mounts I was using were a weaver style on a tinny rail. Changed mounts and cranked em down. Thing shot perfect out to 800. No just need a different scope bc a hunting reticle at distance is a PITA on a 50 lol. Doubt I would use 50 on coyote
bubbasks Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Posted April 29, 2014 Now that we r done with pheasants and chucker we can move some targets and stretch it out to 1000-1500 across the big fields. Only have 2400 acres to play with

Rsquared Posted April 29, 2014 Report Posted April 29, 2014 That's what you call, a high quality problem.
