Turkeys and Yotes don't mix !

After Pa. archery went out (no buck for me) I should have been hitting Ohio archery but was a little burnt out plus had quite a few things to do.So after getting the stuff done Thursday morning hit the turkey woods,I sit down in the dark and wait for daylight,just like always the turks start their morning talk,then they fly down a nice mixed flock of adult hens,jennies and jakes 35-40 at least. Just fast as they flew down they flew up. I new something was wrong and the fly down fly up game went on till 10 am,after the 4 time I moved about 40 yards to my right to better a better view of this strange event,well there where two yotes doing what yotes do best kill for the thrill. They each had a turkey in their mouth but would put it down and rush in and kill another turkey when they would fly down,I watched them kill three more. They are truely killing machines,they bust with speed and close fast,young turks don't have a chance.

    I think it's time for me to take up Coyote hunting. They're getting a little too close to the house. One of my dogs woke me up at 2 in the morning. She was in the kitchen howling like a Coyote.

    That drives me nuts just reading about it.......
    Maybe a few soft yelps would have got a turkey to fly to you and/or brought the yotes in closer. Then let the 12 gauge do the rest. Might not of killed them, but their faces sure would be feeling it !

    Wags, I did try yelping with no luck yotes would look down the hill at me but had the real things right above them,even mouth squealed,got looks but not coming. I did scare them away but a little late. I was helpless at 75 yards.

    Take a blast at them with the shotgun, even at 40 yards it would have stung them pretty good and they wouldve run off.
