One for me. First trad kill other than a rabbit. Hunting turkeys and he came into my hen call, his buddy didn't fall for the same trick.

Mike Baker: He might have been dumb but he certainly was pretty. That's a trophy by anyones standards. Congrats.  

I have a question, are most shots taken while hunting other game or are you targeting them specifically?

I was deer hunting when I got mine---target of opportunity!  

i've never purposely hunted them--but I've gotten 5 while deer huntging---only the 1 with bow though  :rolleyes:

Pat... back then I figured several very light silencers was better insurance than two heavy ones.

That old Bighorn was one quiet puppy... even without the 5 pounds of silencer material.
 

I shot two on the same deer stand one morning, plus missed a third. As you can guess, the deer hunting wasn't worth a darn that morning, but I was OK with that.

I have taken 100+ with a rifle, never with a bow, much less a trad bow, still on my bucket list. I was looking at the pics, and some of my old pics from late 70's, 80's and early 90's, and the yote pics were all about the same size as seen in these pics. Last 10 years I have been shooting huge dogs, #35-45#!! Recent study has found that they have inbred with gray wolves, and bred the Southern red wolf nearly into extinction. The grey wolves here on the eastern seaboard, have been tame ones, folks have turned loose, got loose ,and mingled with the yote packs, acording to some F&W and Nat. Geographic DNA studies. I know they are getting harder on our fawn crop, F&W thinks they and other predators are taking %40 of fawn crop.

nice.

Great thread! As for myself I see them all the time but I have never got close to one to try my longbow or recurve at. We have a big population of them now in my area so I will keep at it and if I get lucky one-day I can join the club.

I have only taken one with a longbow, but 4,000 plus now with a rifle and other means.

Hoping to join this club soon....no luck yet!

I have caught 100+ with steel traps have never had an opportunity with my bow. Maybe some day one will wandered past.

got one with wheelie bow but no chnaces yet with trad equipment

All mine fell by accident while I was deer hunting.

Got my third last nite.

The most with a bow in one season was 12.
Shot three from stand one morning and have shot two in day several times.
I have a hard time not sqeeking at them from deer stand when I see them and when they walk by I try my best to shoot them .
