I do "ALOT !!!!!!!!"of Yotebusting and Bobcat hunting here in Southern Oklahoma....I use Scream'n Eagle calls made by non other than myself, many ppl around me use my calls. Have called up countless yotes and cats. I can either make them out of wood, or aluminum. The wooden calls (Oak) usually go for around $20.00 depending. Exotic woods (Maple, Ebany, Mahogany*, etc.) very depending on price of turning stock. Aluminum calls however go from 50.00 on up depending on how unique you want it, just because of the time and machine work involved, I am working on 3 wooden calls and one aluminum calls at the moment, once they are done I will post some pics. Howlers work good during mateing season, while rabit calls still work it is a good ideal to throw a howl in.
On the topic of baiting...never done it. get a weisel ball put some rabbit fur on it and start calling. I have had many cats accually attack the decoy. Calling is pretty easy and is a blast to watch the yote or cat run it.
Besure while hunting you use 110% cammo; body, face, hands...everything. then use a sent eliminator, I use carbon blast...works good...cover sents usually are to un-natural smelling and the smart a yote can catch wind of whats going on.
Gun: I use a Savage M11 22-250, loaded with a Sierra 52 HPBT, and 41 gr. of H380. seems to be a bang flop load...and very accurate.
When hunting I never shoot unless I know for sure I will hit him. Yotes are very quick learners, once you call one up and miss, it is hard to get him to come back, so take your time when shooting, don't get in a hurry.
