I recently made a post about the efficiency of hunting over a gut pile or farm burial site for Yotes.

How often would you hunt one?
How do you hunt one?

I've never hunted one before so if any of you have done so before can you give me some tips?

I have been all over the dairy farmers property and haven't seen a burial site but plan to talk to him this week.

I attended a course on trapping problem wolves and coyotes. The instructor has traveled to multiple countries to teach about wolf trapping. He stated that bait piles should be 100 yards to 2 miles from where you set your traps or snares because they circle the pile from a distance. If you are hunting the pile, I would expect that you could pick a spot anywhere in that zone.

Still hunt them here. Most times yotes will visit them close to the same time each day. Or night. last one I was able to hunt I sat in the barn loft and picked them off. The land owner always let me know when he added to the pile. It was two - three days before they hit the fresher carcasses unless they were still feeding on the older ones.
