I just got back from a Texas ranch hunt this passed Sunday. My friend who owns the ranch said to me that he would be very surprised if I even saw a yote, because he has lived on the ranch since he was young and has only seen two of them. He got a shot at one with a rifle but missed, and here I am hunting with no bait and a recurve bow. Well one afternoon as the sun had already dropped below the trees, I see something come into the area real fast and looking side to side for something to eat. I think it's a fox at first glance, but then realize it's a little too big to be a fox. Our yotes are big up here in the Northeast and it threw me off. This is the good part, He walks within 6'-8' from me and doesn't see me, even though I'm on the ground and he looks side to side passed me twice. He then starts to move again and he gives me a broad side shot at about 18 yds., and I blew the shot. I didn't pick out a spot and shot just over him, the funny part is earlier in the day I shot a quail with my bow, oh well that's part of Trad. hunting.
