Story starts yesterday about 1:00 pm
Heckuva deer trail crossing the gravel to a standing beanfield. I take a stand and wrestle it for near an hour,just couldn't make it do what I wanted,so back in the truck ,back home.
Got a 6 gal bucket from the shop. Grabbed some primer,tan and black,quick camo job to cover the white.
Went back about 3:30,parked down the road,slipped into the wind and snipped a few branches and trees to make a quickie blind.
Wanting to shoot a nice doe for meat,then concentrate on the bucks. 4:30 6 pt comes outta the tall grass,works his way along my fencerow,passes at 6 yds. I'm thinkin,this may work after all when the fat does show up. He goes to the road(30 yds)and comes trotting back by at 6 yds,the trail is 6 yds out from my big tree ground blind.
At 5:00 I stand for a while,there is a branch with leaves that will catch my top limb,so I twist it over another branch,rustling and snapping a twig or two.
I look West,ahhh,here comes the fat doe,nope,its the 6 again. This time he comes in the brushy fencerow with me,passes at 8 feet,looks me over and walks strait out to the trail,dissapears across the road.
5:20- I glance toward the road, a bigger buck around 120ish clean 8 pt,is standing looking across the road. For some unknown reason,he heads strait toward me ,I am in near full view from that way. They are supposed to come to the road,not from it!
He passes at,you guessed it, 6 yds. I let him go,may regret it later,but probably not.
The owls start the serenade,which brings on the coyote howl. About 5 packs lite up in different directions.
I hear something toward the road again,it is a yote,angling by at 30 yds. I watch him go,and hear something in the weeds the other direction,I'll be damned,another yote. This one passes at 20 ft. I slip my bow around the tree and draw as he clears. The 600 grain arra with a Delta on his end takes him off his feet. A little forward,thru the shoulder. A few snarls and biting the arra in 3 pcs,and he is done. Took the pic this AM while lookin for my broadhead,which I never found....
Sorry this was so long!!

Oh yeah,the fat does never showed!
Impressive, Kenny!
You know you are doing something... a LOT of things... right when you get that close to a yote and manage to get a bow drawn!
The fat doe will be in serious trouble when she shows!
Daryl
nice job Kenny.
Very cool Kenny! I hope one day I get a chance at one. I would love to kill one with a good'ol recurve! it'll have to be a recurve cause that's all I hunt with!! LOL! Jason
Great hunt. Sounds like it was a blast. To bad about the broadhead. Are you going to mount the yote?
Congratulations, that's a great trophy!
Awesome. One of my goals is a yote with a bow. I have had a few close encounters but never managed to get a shot. Congrats.
Nice shooting Kenny, sounds like you were in the right spot for meat!
Sounds like a great Hunt, congrats on the Yote!

Sweet!
Nice Kenny! They're a crafty bunch, them yotes!....sounds like you got it goin on!
Send a few of them extra deer my way, woodja?
Way to go Kenny! I took one thursday same thing a little forward at 12 yards and he chewed that arrow up in the 10 or 15 seconds of life he had left in him. Don't want to hijack your thread so I won't post a pic unless ya say it ok.
Thank coyote is a great trophy. Nice shooting!
congrats,
ANY yote with a bow is a real trophy. I'd love to smack one. The yotes are worthless this year but if ya skinned him and ham him tanned he'd make a beautifull wall decoration.
I'm going to get a bucket !!!
Nice job.
Great hunt story.. thanks for sharing
Good shootin'!

Nice one!! I gotta ask about your bow. I like it!!
A fellow by the name of John Holzrichter from Wichita Ks. made this one, he is up at the Nebraska Traditional Archers rondezvous every year and 2 years ago I could finnaly afford one. He makes some real nice shooters. This one is 60" ntn and 52 @ (http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu3/dmanwarren/2008197.jpg)28".
I named it "Old Crow" gotta love that spalted maple.
that was supposed to be 52" @ 28"
Nice lookin bow!! :thumbsup:
