Shot the yote, 30 mins later a nice young 8 and a spike came out that I have been after! Spike is in the cooler! They were downwind and could smell him, they were very cautious and looked right where he was laying. They couldn't see him because of the tall grass, but they knew something was up!
Congrats on the double. Now send some of that luck my way, I haven't had a shot at a deer in almost a month up here in Wisconsin. Goes to show that during rifle season, when the woods are full of people, gun shots in every direction, anything can happen. I always sit tight. Like my dad used to say, "It's pretty tough to shoot a deer in the woods. It's REALLY tough to shoot one off your couch."
I shot a yote several years ago and had a young 6 pt come in on the same trail and walk within 5 ft of the dead yote. He didn't like it, stomped his foot and sniffed all around, but he didn't leave either.
