Yote Problem

[HunterCO]

There was a lady out walking her dog in the Patty Jewit* here in the Springs last month or so when a yote came out and attacked her dog. Probably a small dog but non the less.

Yep that is what they do it's called mother nature they need to eat. If you give them a free meal they will take it.

I work with a guy that lives in the Peaceful Valley area. Has a few big dogs (Rotties) and he was telling me they (yotes) try to entice his dogs when they're by themselves....Usually a female yote in heat trying to bring back one of his male to the pack.

Internet myth I have heard so many versions of this myth I don't even know were to start.

I've also been Mtn Biking at Palmer Park (1 mile from my house), come around a corner and ran into one right in the middle of the trail. It wasn't worried about me at all.......they are getting brave!

They are not getting "Brave" they are adapting. When you have hundreds of sprocket heads riding up and down the same trail all day they figure out you are not a threat and lose all fear. This does not mean they are getting aggresive.

That being said I am always up for a yote hunt but I will not come up with BS excuses to hunt them. They are a real challenge to hunt they are not stupid. I hunt them because it is a great challenge and I like to hunt.
