Are they common in the NW suburbs? So tonight for some reason I look out the front window of our place just about 20 minutes ago, and I see what I'm 99% sure is a yote standing in the front yard of the house across the street. I turn around to get my red LED headlamp that I use for spotting eyes when I yote hunt (I happen to have it next to my chair in the living room) and go back to look and now there is not one, but two of them standing there doing the unmistakable light footed trotting around with noses to the ground. I get the light on them, and sure enough, it's a pair of mature yotes. I live right near the rt 14 bridge in Cary and I'm right on the river. While it's not a densely populated development, it is fairly suburban around here. When they saw me they bailed and took off on the frozen Fox River. I looked on the aerial map just now and there really isn't any type of sizeable wooded area around here, so I'm not sure where exactly they might be living or where they go for cover. Maybe this is uncommon and they just happened to pass through heading down the frozen river? Anyone have a lead on land within a couple hours drive that needs some coyote population control? I've got a ton of experience hunting predators and all the equipment.......just didn't realize they were around here like this. If this is common, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take much to get them to come to a call.
Fergus is correct, yotes are thick up there. Lots of mange up there too. (At least there was back when I lived up there) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
You live next to jacks channel? There's yotes in cary. I used to live next to maplewood school and we saw them almost all the time in the winter. Garage can hunters. Go CG
I'm not 100% sure where Jack's channel is, but I'm guessing it's the channel you can see on the north side of the bridge? I'm on the south side of the bridge off Jandus Cutoff.
They are everywhere. There have even been Yotes that ran into stores in Chicago, one was found in a cooler a few years ago.
Wow........kinda crazy they are that thick out here. Back home we had them in the suburbs and I spent a lot of time hunting them there. With that said, unless there were 5-20 acre woodlots mixed into the immediate area they just weren't around, and you never saw them just in front yards, etc......
