Anyone having troubles calling coyotes

I'm not .......

endorsing illegal tactics, simply repeating gun shop gossip. Guys are talking about wacking 5-6 an evening, and I'm seeing squat. .......but I'm not done yet.

Actually, I don't think many guys are purposefully hunting coyotes here. The illegal episode I'm referring to occurred in an adjacent state after a family had a high dollar pet dog killed by coyotes. The owner declared "enough", or so the story goes.

But our deer season is so long, and their fair game anytime sighted, that they get shot at plenty and are super spooky anyhow.

And we've got PLENTY. Many times I've been on a deer stand and heard 3-4 bunches at once on cold, full moon evenings. Tracks and scat everywhere.

I'm working out a strategy to call into thick cover, w/ open areas to my rear that are down wind, so that any 'dog coming in downwind will be exposed, or at least run the edges,and present a shot. There's enough pine plantations, and edges created by cutovers that I should be able to play the wind and have lots of set ups.

I'll let y'all know how this new plan works out.

I would suggest sitting in a tree stand with a bow or shot gun thats the funnest they get right in on ya it works, just a suggestion and do please let me know how it goes.
 
I've climbed so........

dang many trees in our long deer season, and lugged that stinking contraption up and down so many ridges and muddy logging roads, that I am GLAD to sit my big butt on terra firma for a bit. But thanks for the tip. I have shot two from stands while bowhunting, but have quit the practice after a spike buck spooked at the blood from the hit coyote. Could have been the deer of a lifetime.

I want to hunt this evening, but am to ding dong tired after a split shift, off at 2200, back at 0700 in the AM.

Try'em tomorrow

I've been in the thick brush with a distress call in my mouth and i feel like i'm about to make a great meal for a dumb mountain lion or something along those lines jumping at the crack of every twig. . . me like trees when calling in the thick stuff you will really have to let me know how everything goes
