Then she got up and ran off the step from the other side of the house from where the yote was coming in, and was barking at him/her at the barbed wire fence, and the yote wasn't backing down from a 135 pound dog, but still keeping his distance.

So, while he was arguing with my tiny puppy, I shot him in the head at 85 yards with a 20 gr vmax. He dropped right there and never moved. Felt like the bullet blew the skull into 3 pieces.

My dog sulked in the bushes for about an hour. She doesn't like gunfire...

I've shot yotes at 285 yards as measured with a rangefinder. With the vmax, they don't seem to go very far, and I've never seen a exit wound. I think that only covers 13 dogs though...
