Great pics!  :happy1:

We're just about to get geared up to start calling the yotes here in Southern MN. Only about a week or so to go.

55 gr that seems to be what my 220 swift likes also. When I load for lil'bros 22-250 seems to like the lighter bullets.

CV,

You can use electronic all you want, but you cannot use lights to blast 'em. You'll have to go sun-up, sundown, or moonlit nights.

Truthfully I don't know what the best calls are, but I have an electronic call, and a few mouth calls and they seem to work good. It seems like from talking to people that the raspier the voice is on the cottontail/jackrabbit the better?? Also, keep your mouth calls close to your body when out on real cold days as they will freeze up if you do not.

Good luck
Alex

I don't know about a new yrs noise maker? I'm sure it may call a few in just out of curiosity but I think something more realistic would work better. Something that sounds more like dinner. They can tell the difference.

Night time/day time is a horse apiece. I have had better luck with getting a response after dark but not always on getting a shot. Dusk/dawn seems to get a bit of both.
