Just wondering when a good time to quit woudl be. Still seeing lots of yotes during the week running around. We only hunt on saturdays, and i will call alone during the week a f ew times. Some groups around here are gonna quit after this weekend. Thoughts or anyting would be nice. Had a ok year so far, shot 15 yotes and 7 fox.

Well I guess thats a personal thing.
As to fox in Mn,we used to quit at the end of the month.Mud,water,etc made it tough but the main reason was that females were just too easy/vulnerable for us then.Over the winter we'd have likely found 20-30 plus dens.In march,on sunny days,snow or no snow,you simply could kill female after female(pregnant of course)sleeping in the sun at those spots.We chose not to.

Thanxs for the advice. I guess im not in it for the fur that much i guess. Its just fun to shoot them. There are way to many in the area. So i might hunt for a few more weeks. We have been getting about half of the yotes with mange as well.

If your not doing it for the fur then i would just hunt them to hunt them and make the local farmers happy. If you are getting a lot of mangy ones just keep piling them up cause that needs to get taken care of

This will probably be one of my last weekends. I might make a few efforts in the mornings here and there, the fur is rubbing pretty bad from what I have heard.
