My wife gave me a foxpro spitfire today gotta love her for that. Anyway, as soon as she handed it to me I went out in the pastor and gave it a try. Nothing, any way, I am looking for any and all advice that y'all will give me for yote hunting. Thanks in advance. And I do me any and all. I know nothing about yote hunting.

1. Make as little noise as possible. Dont slam truck door, use squeaky gates, be quite climbing fences, dont cough out loud, talk on your cell phone etc.
2. Set up so wind is not blowing into the area you think the coyotes will come from. Usually set the caller upwind from your stand, or where coyotes can come in on a cross wind.
3. Start calling at mid volume. Play something like rabbit softly for 15 to 20 seconds at first. Slowly increase the length and volume of the calling. Change the rabbit sound after around 5 to 6 minutes. After 10 minutes or so pull out the ace in the hole. Pup Distress.
4. If its the last stand of the day try starting with some howls. Coyote locator works if you have it. Wait a few minutes to see if you get a response. Then play some rabbit for a minute or so. Then Pup Distress.
5. In February try only howls and pup distress. They have heard a lot of rabbit distress and are leery of it. They are also becoming more territorial and pairing up.
6. Stay still. Coyotes are not real smart and normally dont see you if you set still. That dont mean to be belligerent about it. Hide as good as you can, but mainly sit still.
7. Dont give up. You will make a lot of dry stands. Its perfectly normal to make 7 or 8 dry stands in a row. Just stay after it.

P.S. These tips will not work in the Searcy area. I would not recommend using them anywhere within 100 miles of White county.

Hahahahahaha

 

[micahg]

or the benton area same 100 mile radius applies.

That too.

Neither one are anywhere near me so you are good and safe

Btech is right, none of that will work in White county. These things around here want you to have the largest, loudest feet around. Plus if you pull in honking your horn, they will know where to come get the food. We have them trained around here.

Oh, one other thing, walk out in the woods and say. Here kitty, Kitty, Kitty.... Coyotes hate cats and will come right in.... :wink:


Btech, Fyi, Me and Doc are headed back out to Skeets on Monday. :up: I'll give you a report when I get back.

You ever get a tourny partner?

Good advise Chris. Also, shoot your gun into the air before you start calling. The coyotes will think you shot the rabbit and come to investigate.

Good luck at Sheets. I hope you knock a bunch down. Ive talked to a couple guys about being in the contest. Aint nothing in stone yet but I think I have a partner.

When you move from property to property to make a stand, how far do you generally try to park from where you set up. I don't mind walking but the further you walk then the longer it takes, and the fewer stands you can make.

Most of what I am hunting is farm land. I don't have to drive far to get to. All of it is within 10 minutes of my house. But I plan on parking where the farmer usually parks. They have all told me the yote won't run unless you park somewhere else. But when I take the wheeler I will park a little farther away

 

[Cjdavis618]

It's not quite that simple in some cases. Coyotes will run if they don't recognize the vehicle, smell or activity.

One afternoon, I was following behind a farmer in his farm truck to look at stand locations at his farm. During the drive, he motioned and showed me one of the coyotes that were in the field at the time. When I came in behind and saw the yote, it was history and bugged out. They know differences and the farmer said that he doesn't ever run away, but that time he was spooked. Again, something wasn't right. None of us got out of the truck or even slowed down but it still happened.

Food for thought.
