Glad I didnt find them Matt. Would have had a yote pup down here with me. Can't kill stuff like that at the young stage...Cool pics.
I think that there would be a few less yotes in the world those cute little ones turn into big yotes.
They might be little now, but this fall they will be killing your game. The only good coyote is a dead coyote.
me and bgo have the same mindset, me and my bm varminter took two 15 or 20 lb pups yesterday. a yote is a yote
We were riding horses once and the dogs brought a live yote pup back to us. I was 7 years old and admiring this little yote pup as one of the men I was with layed it on the ground, out of nowhere he stomps the things head in right infront of me without warning. I thought that was a little much, I wouldnt be able to kill those pups either.
Might as well killed them,when mama smells human scent on the one,if it don't spread to the whole litter,she'll kill'em any way,or else abandon them.
A buddy of mine found one out in California and raised it. Said it would burry itself in the sand and hunt small animals around the house said it was pretty cool then just ran off one day but he would play with the stupid thing...
Been there killed that..... just a little older, but still in the cute stage of life. Only good yote is a dead one.
I'm like everyone else I have heard this same thing. However, if a grizzly gets after an elk calf or a dog gets ahold of a fawn and the fawn gets away. Does the mother just abandon it. Sounds like a good way for a species to go extinct. I don't doubt it could happen and may a good percentage of the time. But, it doesn't make sense to me. They expend alot of energy raising young just abandon them if they had a run in with a predator and survived.
I would not even consider killing them. Just another animal in the food chain and I personally would have a hard time calling myself a sportsman if I did kill a pup so small.
