If they are standing still, the yotes curl up and fall over. If they are runnin, they pile up real quick. I have never not had one drop and stay down.

I personally won't use a .22lr on yotes. I watched one these tough dogs shrug of a 22-250 round that hit the shoulder blade and exploded in the chest cavity. The yote ran for 250 yards. It took a second round in the neck to bring that yote down. I would recommend using the .223 with a vmax projectile.
The more energy on impact, the better.
OK, GOOD 2 KNOW! I have seen guys (say it was a 22lr) and drop a yote at 50 yards. Figured if was that close it would be ok? Thoughts?
