Yote & Mtn Lion calling NM

[mooster]

Had an elk trip in NM where I needed to spend a few days acclimating to elevation, so used the time to do some predator calling on BLM lands. Using onX, I e-scouted openings and terrain, placing enough pins advance to hunt the three days I had available. It was quite a learning experience, as usual, not everything on satellite imagery is as you think when you put boots on the ground. But wow, compared to calling yotes in GA, they are abundant and hungry in NM. I averaged killing one yote per stand over 2.5 days, mostly hunting midday, 10am-3pm. What a great experience. What a shock too to call in this mountain lion to some mouse squeaks. I think I'll be headed back in off season just to do more predator hunting.

Congrats on the calling success. Calling in a lion is on top of my bucket list.
