A friend and I got together tonight to try our luck. Well Molly pulled out his hand call and called for 15 seconds or so. This female came walking down the dirt road just a minute later. She got to about 100 yds and sat down. I told Molly that this yote is doable but he wasn't so sure. Well I let the 123gr hornady a-max fly and it hit its mark right behind her shoulder. This was another AR that I built in .264 Grendel. I shot some deer with this rifle during deer season but hadn't taken a yote with it yet. I thought I would give it a try. Right around the 3am mark we had this coyote come to Molly's rabbit in distress hand call. It took me 4 shots to get this yote to drop. Long story short these critters are tough. After a little regrouping and a few more stands we had this mangie yote circling around us. It was about 4am. He was about 150 yards and would stop for a few seconds then go, Molly would stop him with the hand call. After 3 or 4 stop and go sessions I finally pulled the trigger. He bounced around for a second or two and down he went. He sure is ugly but he sure was fun to call up then shoot.

About the yotes in the pics above. These yotes down here don't look like the ones up north due to their coats. A month ago their coats were nicer looking. We have been in the upper 70s and 80s here for a few weeks now. One of those had a case of the mange. One thing for certain, they are tough to kill. If the shot isn't just right off they run. None the less, fun to hunt and something to shoot at. Here's a pic of 2 that I shot 5 weeks ago. These are considered nice for around here.

We have a big problem with them in Maine and they are big suckers too, supposedly they have wolf genes in them.
