Coyote Hunting?

[joseph34]

I am just starting to hunt predators and i was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks that they are willing to share about calling and baiting? Im mostly focused on coyotes.

Carry lots of bullets and shoot them all !!! All bs aside start calling softly and progresssively get louder. Call 30 seconds, wait 5 minutes and try louder, if now takers after half an hour move and start over again....shoot straight and stack em up!!

What kind of call works best?

 

[singleshot1]

i prefer open reed mouth call...all preference.

Out where i live I have field on the edge of some woods and at night they constantly yipping and barking. I was thinking I could go and set up there to see if I cant shoot me one or two. Thanks for the tips!

Consider having a shotgun handy also...buckshot works very well for close range. I buy that inexpensive Estate buck that's about $18 per box of 25.

shotgun in lap, rifle at shoulder, cant go wrong. start soft in case they are close,finish loud incase they are aways off....

I only have one tip.If you call 15 sits and dont call anything in dont get discouraged and give up keep going.Its not as fast action as you see on tv. Good luck dont give up

One of the biggest mistakes in my opinion is to set up on a high vantage point. Most of the time I believe the dogs see you first..tuck into the side of a draw or ravine and make them come to you..
