Posted this at PM but thought I'd post it here too,the more opinions I have,the better. Need the yote question in the first paragraph answered,the rest is just general BS caue I like to yack about hunting! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Back early today,turkey season ends at 12 noon.Had planned on trying to coyote hunt later,but the heat is unbelievable.I doubt the yotes will move much in this heat ? What say you experienced yote hunters,will they move during this time of breeding,in this heat [80]or will they lay in the shade and take it easy ?
Knats and skeeters already out,the woods are dry as a bone.It'd be great if the temp would drop about 10 degrees and it would rain some.
Turkey hunted private land bordering a state park this AM,didn't hear a thing,even though two mornings ago a buddy heard two gobblers.Plenty of fresh sign,just no birds,we hunted hard right up until 12.
Back again in the early AM.
West Virginia is a really hard state to hunt in some respects,the DNR makes it really difficult because of the way they set the seasons.Some of the hens have been on the nest 2 weeks now,most birds aren't gobbling.
Sooner or later we'll run into a couple of high steppin birds,we always do. Or maybe I'll call in a yote,all I want is something legal to shoot at. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Got my new Howler from Slydog today,I must say this man is talented,his calls are a work of art in both sound and looks.I am tickled plumb to death with all 4 calls. Can't wait to use them this fall,I know where there's a ton of bobcats and several yotes too!

You never know. Typically, things slow down late morning, but if you are dilligent, you will get a few animals in the heat of the day and at straight up twelve noon.
Good hunting. LB

So,the yotes will still move a bit in the heat,even when denned up for breeding ?
