I haven't done any predator calling in years. That was back East and in heavily wooded terrain.
I don't know anything about local regs. so season and tag info would be helpful. I plan on buying an electronic call and could use some recommendations on a good brand/model for under $250 or so. Also, is open terrain good enough hunting or should I go up toward the mountain? Thanks! The MULE |

don't even need a license. just go shoot the fuckers.

Crapshoot is our resident Yote expert.
I'm sure he'll be along shortly with some good advice. |

No license needed unless trapping (traps can only be used when a trapping season is open) or if you are selling the hides. Yotes are where they are. High, low and in between. Mouth calls work just as well as electronics and cost less but require more attention to detail and movement when setting up. As far as electronics go, I like FoxPro . |

For every One Coyote Hunter you know there are fifty others you don't know.
If you think you have a super secret spot someone else knows about it also. Coyotes aren't mythical creatures. To be a successful Coyote Hunter there is more to look for than just tracks. Some types of birds will tell you a Coyote might be coming. |

I just took my 11 year old son out yesterday, rolling yotes.
Business is good. |

Thanks to all of you who supplied input!
I plan on going out at night and am going to be using NODs, IR illuminator with IR laser and thermal. Shooting will be done with a suppressed 5.56 using standard velocity ammo. The plan is to quad in to where I've seen a bunch then set up on the electronic caller, spot for them with the thermal then do the shooting with the NODs and Laser. Sounds simple enough but how's their night vision? Should I worry more about movement at night or scent and noise? Thanks! The MULE |

The FoxPro Shockwave is quite a piece of equipment!
It's going to take me a month just to learn to use it... does anyone have any favorite calling "sequences" that they would be willing to share? I work at night doing security and haven't been seeing near as many yotes during my patrols. This confuses me because I thought that they would be even more active during the colder temps moving and hunting to stay warm at night. Maybe they just moved to lower elevations? Rabbit activity has slowed in the area too so maybe they have moved to find a different source of food? Don't know... Thanks! The MULE |

The shockwave is the second FoxPro I've owned with sequence capabilities.....that I've never figured out how to use.

So what are the rules for disposing of them after they are shot? Do you keep for the pelts or just leave them for the Birds?
|

To each their own. Me personally, after the photos, the birds/Coyote s/maggots gots to eat too. I just pitch em in a ditch or bush out of sight. Sometimes I use a local store/f&g or school dumpster.
