We night hunt and here is our bag of tricks.
1) Golf Cart...gotta be quiet, need to be moving and covering alot of territory
2) Good night vision optics. Gen 3 Night Optics D-760 scopes
3) Good IR light. Streamlight Tac IR light. You can see their eyes from 400 yds out.
4) Trigger Stick tripod
5) Cheap basic fox in distress hand call
6) Hunt 11pm to 5am. These yote let down their guard and are much easier to kill at that time.
7) Most importantly...Big Large tracks of open land. Farmers fields, Cow pasture, ect.
8) 2 Hunters back to back panning for no more than 15 min. Then move on to next spot. If they are there they are coming. We try not to get hung up on a spot if they don't show.
I would say we yeild on average a 50% success ratio per stand.
We were standing in the middle of large open bare fields last night. The moon was shinning a shadow on our silhoette. These yotes came within 70 yards of us. Go figure.
