bucknut Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well long story short, my friend and i have been trying the whole coyote hunting deal for three years now with little success. I was wondering what everyone uses for calls,clothing.. how to setup.. things like that.. I bought some diaphragm mouth howlers from primos so those are going to be part of my arsenal and iam thinking of picking up a few more.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks !!!

WaCoyote Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'd get some videos. They'll help a lot with sounds you should make. I have several mouth calls as well as a Foxpro. You can never have to many. Always stay hidden in the shade and if possible keep the sun to your back. When it's snowy you can pretty much hide any where just as long as you're camo'd. Watch the downwind side.You just have to get out and learn from experience. It takes a while for sure but once you learn it gets easier. The first time I went out I called in 4 dogs and only got one. Then I went on a 2-3 year dry spell. Probably only 6-8 trips total. Now I typically get at least one per trip although last year was a poor year. Only got three. Missed a few and got busted by many.

sureshot Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 best thing I can say is don't give up. keep trying different things, and keep hunting even if they seem not to be calling, like they said above, keep from moving with the best camo available, realtree of course lol, position to call is the most important, truthfully I would start with just a distress till you get the howls figured out, you can easilly bust them if you use a wrong howl especially early in the fall or winter, when looking for a position, always have the wind in mind, ALWAYS, try to figure out were they are at the moment you are calling, I am lucky in the draws and farmland I can have a good idea were theya re at that part of the day, in the mornings I call open fields next to draws or sloughs, especially if with bales in them, during the day hours will call bedding areas close to cattle or bales were they are mousing or eating the cow dung,[in winter]I know know were theya re [hopefully] I set up so that they have to be in range to get downwind of me, if the wind is coming from the strait south I will position myself strait north of the area I think theya re in, they will have to come around me to get downwind, my best spots are lake bottoms were I sit on the edge with wind at my back, [about 100 yards from the shore]they cannot get downwind of me without going in the water, even when its frozen they seem to follow the edge, giving me a 100 yard shot just before they get downwind, If I find a huge draw less than 300 yards across i will set up so they will be within 300 yards before they get downwind, they seem to follow the draw up on the far side, they are getting downwind but you will get a shot before they wind you!! Good luck!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
