Sack, Im still tryin to get up your way. Shoot- Me, you AND Rooster all live within 45 minutes of each other-no reason for us all not meeting yet- save world and time. Rooster will vouch for me in that being a funeral director I have absolutely no idea when a day off is going to occur. People pass away, I go to work. I think weve tried 3 or 4 times to meet up, only to have someone pass and want the services on his days off. The good Lord has a peculiar sense of humor when it comes to me.
Anyways- are you locating the yotes, or just cold calling? My cold calling sucess rate is terrible.
Try this- Locate them the night before- or early the morning of a hunt. Sometimes I go completely thru all my hunting spots with NO responses. When this happens, I usually stay home and tend to the honey do list. When they are located use your personal knowledge of the area to form a plan of attack. This is where footwork before during and after season becomes 10 times more important than what call you use, camo you wear, or gun you shoot. Setting up in places where they want to be will allways work out better than trying to coax them into a position that they arent cool with. This can trully suck, but, with the numbers that we have, its what I have to do to make it work for me.
Hey, us three, or who ever else wants for that matter oughta meet up for pizza and coldies some night for S&G's anyways. Ill buy.
