Nice work, Chad. How in the world do you track a yote 6 miles in a line? Do you have that much permission to yote hunt? I would suspect I could get quite a bit, but dang 6 miles would take me across a couple of highways. Heck of an effort and well deserved yote!
Brock, the area that coyote was in there wasn't a single woods for about 8 miles or more. Nothing but open fields and ditches. He went straight west for the first 4 miles, then went south for a mile, then went Northwest and then west the next mile and a half. I crossed several township and county roads along the way, and the state line in the end. When I get on a hot track I am like a hound dog.....I'm not likely coming out until he is dead or I am too tired to go on. Usually it only takes a mile or 2 before they are located, but this one yesterday decided he would head for Indiana. Something else I forgot to mention is that where he was laying there were about 15 deer bedded in some tall cornstalks about 1/4 mile north of where he was at.....I bet he was keeping an eye on those deer.
Yes on the permission. There are only 2 people in that whole area that give us a no on hunting coyotes, one of the guys don't even own any land, he just likes to be a dickhead. Anyhow, I wasn't close to their property. Most of the land up here is farmed by HUGE farmers, and we know nearly all the landowners.... so getting permission on big tracts of land isn't a problem for yotes. I would say there is a 98% kill them all mentality around home.:smiley_coolpeace:
