We were at my dad's place in SW Oklahoma at Thanksgiving and heard a pack of coyotes in the south part of the pasture. They don't hang out long. As soon as you see them they are gone. They don't just kill deer...they will take down a newborn calf very quickly and leave nothing behind.

Snarein and trappin is something I haven't got into yet..... but I have a buddy that knows all about it. There is to many hoops to jump through in my state, but I was browsing the CA fish and game web site one day and came across rules for trapingwitch I couldn't belive, because almost everything is illegal in CA I'll have to check into that Good luck calling, maybe a wolf will get mistaked as a yote

I just moved but used to live in the middle of about 15000 acres of crop ground. Yotes would have dens in all the ditches. I gone out when my dogs were barking and in the yard with a spot light and pistol and had them 40 feet away. Around here one will lead your dog off and the rest of the pack will come in and kill it that's why I'm my avatar you'll see my four German shepherds.

Yes they aren't afraid to get close to the house around here late at night. Had a neighbor that used to keep the population down, but since he quit they've been coming back around. If they catch a calf alone they'll take it down.

A buddy, his son, and I went out yesterday on the 4 wheelers in -10 degree weather. It was hard to keep warm but we stayed out all day giving it the ol' college try. We had his auto caller w/ Mojo spinner thing, and I carried two mouth calls. Made 5 sets and didn't have anything come in but birds of prey. Saw lots of sign, with possibly one lone young wolf track as well. The talk is that with the snowshoe hare population nearing it's peak, the yotes don't have to be that aggressive as they really aren't hungry. I had visions of them cuddled under a bush staying warm with full bellies. There literally wasn't a place in the few thousand acres or so that we traveled yesterday that you wouldn't find all kinds of rabbit tracks. I'm sure all a yote has to do is lay there long enough and a bunny will walk buy. I can see why snares are working well around here. We talked about changing our tactics and finding out where the main wolf packs are roaming and going after them with some fawn in distress calls. Wolves prefer bigger game than these bunnies.
