[DakotaYota]

It was awesome....big ole male came runnin into the call. Took 1 shot while he was comin towars me at 320 yards. It was really exciting! This big boy, Im gonna tan up and display. Loads of great info helped me, and most of it was from reading the archives of this sight....thanks

Congrats on the first one Now that you have that monkey off the back its time for get back out there and wack'em and stack'em

[Tbush]

Sweet.. congrats to you, next time if you let-em get closer you won't have to walk as far to pick-em up "great shot"

I got one question. If he was coming straight for you , why did you shoot him at 320yds. You must be one heck of a shot to have that much confidence. I just found it a little comical in what you said. Good shot anyhow. Good for you.

OK so good question....lol. I got a little too excited and was a little off on range estimation. I was using a set of shooting sticks and while he was trottin I had the crosshairs on him and everything was steady and felt good. Now why didnt I let him come closer....well the night before I was out and one was walking at me at about 200 yards. Everything looked perfect he went down into a little dip and should have reappeared at about 120....he never came out. This one had a patch of cattails between he and I so I didnt want to risk it. Again I felt really good about the shot. I shot a deer at 250+ with the same rifle a few weeks ago and put it right where I wanted to. The rifle Im shooting is a TC ProHunter with a custom 21" 22-250 heavy barrel. I love that little gun. Thanks for the congrats. Its already been a good first season for me here in ND.

Thanks again....it is nice to get my first yote in this state. Got a few in Alaska and PA, but huntin here is different and requires some different tactics. It is nice being able to see so far!
