How does everyone hunt these? Calls? if so what kind and how? Or bait? If so what kind and how? I have taken a few that have come in while bird and turkey hunting, but I am looking to go on a full offensive this winter. |

Goto AZ HTF here on ARFCOM and check out the 'Coyotes anyone?' thread. Plenty of good info there. Goto Predator Masters as well. |
Rizzo is right there is alot of information out there. I don't have many opportunites to sit and type but I do for right now I try to get into a cross wind or wind at my back. Coyotes like to come down wind and if the wind is at your back and a open type area in front of you they will expose themselves. Also play the wind when you approach the stand and make NO noises getting form truck to stand (get uot of truck quietly) The calls I use are the ones I make and also use the Foxpro together depending on the stand situation. If you really want to up your odds get a decoy out there moving, now they can see what they are coming to. I do not bait. Remember to be completly covered, be still and don't try to call too loud in the beginning. I start out low and work my way up in volume and then work my way down. By that time a 1/2 has expired and its about time to rap it up for that stand. Think outside the box. Here in Illinois we don't have jackrabbits and such. But I use the sounds thats not around here alot and it does well. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED when things ain't work'n stay at it and it will happen.  In Christ, Song Dog |
| Coyotes can baited or called in. If you get in a virgin area you can blow a call a few times and be covered up in yotes in minutes. Educated yotes will scorn a very experienced caller. We dumped carcasses in open areas we could see from long distance and sniped them. We also hunted them at night with Q-beams. |

If I was to weigh out the time that shows to be the most beneficial, it would be at day break/morning. It seems that I have the best odds then. Though I have killed them through out the day but morning seems to be the best. Evening into dusk is the runner up, on coyotes taken with me. In Christ, Song Dog |

Around here I have noticed that if you see a single or a pair in a particular section this morning they are likely to be there the next. I did say likely I have been called by farmers about them and go the next morning and they are there most of the time. Some of the farmers around here is my best scouters In Christ, Song Dog |
