Came across this site. Looks like a great aid to yote hunting.
Just wanted to share.

I can't help but feel upset. Big cats are awesome and there is no benefit in killing them aside from just trying to be macho. If yotes are killing your chickens or attacking your dogs go for it, but if you are just going to kill them and leave their dead bodies behind that is just wrong.

Don't take me the wrong way and I don't mean to be a negative Nancy, but I was taught young that you don't kill anything that you don't eat.

Appears to have good results, I may have to check one out, for the upcoming spring coyote season

Hey negetive nancy (yuk yuk), that's my a dream hunt. Tracking, stalking, and waiting for the big cat. OK call me macho if you must. Heck no to leaving the animal lying. Next it's a trip to the taxidermist. "Cat, the other white meat"
There are enough cats and alligators that nature can take care of itself.
In Texas, you can bag a big cat, just have to report it to TPWD. (that was a previous years rules)

I like the decoy. It's small enough to carry. If a yote comes in, it's attention will/might be diverted to the phoney woodpecker and giving ample time to sqeeze off a round.

I understand where you are coming from, but to me, hunting is stalking an animal with a spear and do it the way the Indians have taught us how. Take only what you need from the land and nothing more.

I saw a video awhile back where the guys used a wiggling decoy on the ground and about 10 feet away they had a bigger version of the woodpecker, painted like a hawk, mounted on a 8' pole. To the yotes it looked like a hawk was about to get a free lunch, which in turn was supposed to make the yote commit alot sooner to the decoy. From what I saw it worked. I've often thought about building my own.

How about when they spread mange? And cats can be a bigger nuisance than yotes. I almost always get the same reaction from people when I say I hunt yotes. But they get a look of understanding when they invision said yote running off with Fluffy in their mouths.

A girl I know had a cat eaten by yotes. You can also hunt them because you want to sustain the numbers of other creatures, also. Most states dont allow spear hunting. I have never hunted cats, but it looks like a lot of work and determination goes into getting one.

There has been a lot of developement in Rosenberg Tx. The "woods" 1000 acres or more, were cleaned an grubbed out. The coyotes then were running through the neighborhoods. The city councilman known for carrying his "fluffy" poodle around under his arm was one to stifle talk of getting rid of the coyotes.

Well as the story unfolds, he lives on the golf course not far from the clearning, one night he let Pootsie out to pee. The next morning Pootsie's head was found on the 7th Hole.

Changed his mind. Quick!

Thats why I developed my love for killing coyotes. They almost got my dog.
