[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How do I hunt yotes in dense woods?

Posted: 10/10/2017 9:48:50 AM EDT

We have a coyote problem. There are several packs in the woods behind our property. They are scaring away or killing the deer. There are many either travelling together or in smaller groups from time to time. The packs need thinned. I need a good methodology here. Last night I heard many distinct howls from two different directions, one being danger close just inside the woodline north of my driveway on the neighbors property.

Can you trap them?

Deer stand with a camo skirt around it to hide your movement. If you can get a full elevated blind that would be even better hide you present completely. Put your electronic caller and/or decoy out in front of you and call them in. If it's really dense switch to a shotgun with a heavy buckshot load for quicker snap shooting.

Shotgun with dead coyote load and use a carlson choke tube. Basically the same set up we use & i've seen it be deadly out to about 70yrds

If you want to control a coyote problem trapping is your best bet. Hunting them is fun, but you won't kill enough of them before they smarten up.

Tree stand and electronic call on the ground. I haven't done this, but that's what I'd try. In wooded areas they are likely to circle around and come in from unexpected directions, staying concealed until close. Being elevated will help.

Poison bait if legal. Traps and snares if not. You'll need to move the traps and snares after each capture.

A suggestion was also made to me to use Gravy Train as bait??? If I can get them into the lane, my 20ga with 00 buck would seem ideal. I will discuss trapping with my neighbor as I have no knowledge in this area beyond outdoors shows on TV.

Damn, The Deputy working the district where I live just got called to put down a mauled deer at one of my neighbors. I am of course assigned on the other side of the county today.

Poison is illegal nationwide unless you work ADC for the Gubbmint.

No.
The best place to trap a coyote is where one has been previously trapped. Trap circles are the best bait.

OP.

Contact someone from the Ohio Trappers Association if you are serious. You can also try reaching out to someone on Trapperman.com. There's probably an experienced trapper close to you that would be willing to help and/or teach you a new hobby.

Good luck
