I've tried hunting coyotes a few winters and have never had any luck. I'm wondering if anyone has a good website or tips I can use for reference. I haven't tried the past few winters but I want to start tyring it again. I have a fox pro call, plenty of camo and a good, accurate gun! The only thing I don't have are coyotes to shoot.
I usually hike in about 300 yards or so, setup on a hill, behind some bushes and start calling with some coyote calls mixed with wounded rabbit calls. |

Is there sign, or better yet have you seen/heard coyotes in the area you are calling at the time of day that you want to call them? When you are hiking in, are you setting up where you have a maximum vantage point but also where you are hidden by vegetation/rocks? Do the animals have several secure routes to approach from? Are you approaching with the wind in your face, and setting up with the wind to your left/right where you can see downwind? Are you making lots of noise or skylining yourself on approach? Are you setting up BEHIND bushed or in front of them? Your camo is more effective if you are in front of the cover, in the shade, and sitting still. When on stand, do you sit PERFECTLY STILL and make NO NOISE other than the call? Are you starting your call on volume 1000 or starting low for a few minutes and then working your way up? What kind of cover/area/terrain are you calling in? What kind of prey base is there? How many other hunters may be hunting there, and not just predator hunters but deer, rabbit, bird, etc? How long do you call for before moving on to another stand, and when you move how far away do you go? |

I've always done well in the northern part of the state. Try to get away from areas other people have already hunted. I wouldn't even bother calling anywhere within 50 miles of SLC. |

I think the yotes get shot at so much they've gotten much smarter. was north of Wendover NV last weekend and came across one while driving up a dirt road. he took off as I jumped outta my truck and was full throttle 200 yards out when the first bullet went his way. fired 4 more shots and thought I hit him but never found blood or a body so I guess he lived to get shot at another day. too bad for me, he was a biggin'... |

I've mostly hunted in semi close proximity to SLC, but in areas where I've seen coyotes. I'm heading to Grand Junction on a deer hunt this weekend and am hoping to do a little coyote hunting while I'm out there. Hopefully, we'll have better luck. I'll let you know. |
