SingleSix, I`ve never hunted yotes but have shot a few while out -n-about. Some 10 or so years ago a friend of mine and I were coming home from a rather unproductive morning of turkey hunting. He`s driving and I looked across a field and probably 300yds out, on top of a roundbail, lay a nice yote sunning herself.
Stopped truck, got the bino`s out and noticed she had a pup running around playing. They didn`t know we were on the planet.
I got my 22-250 out from behind the seat, layed it across the hood and put the crosshairs on her. Her head was down and my buddy said he was going to whistle and if she raises her head take her. Worked like a charm.
The pup didn`t know what to do so it ran towards us and stopped about 150yds. out and looked back mom`s way just long enough for me to get a sight picture. I`ll say a 22-250 does a good job when hitting shoulder.
Also killed three in the backyard last early fall. Again, momma and two pups. All three the same night using a .22.
Since rabbit season just ended here in the great state of Ohio and there`s nothing else in season till Spring turkey. I`m going to try my hand at actually coyote hunting.
If its ok, I`ll be picking you fellow hunters brains a bit.
