I heard some last night but they were pretty far away - to far to get them to respond. Could hear them howling after the train whistle.

I am heading out tonight for a bit to check a couple of spots. have not heard them around lately but going to give it a shot. Where I am they have a wide travel area and you only hear them every 2-3 weeks.

In Jan is start of mating season, so I use more coyote calls, female howls, chalenges, etc.
-
and when it happens...it usually happens fast. I start out with a low volume mice, mole,vole rabbit for a few minutes, then a few minutes of silence, followed with a little louder volume for like 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of silence, last call I use if nothing has happened is pup cries or whines. I switch up the the mice, rabbits, and use bird distress (day) sometimes.
-
are you set up for day or night hunting or both?
-
i could break out my custom long bow but my target wouldn't look like that...lol....I would need a barn target I think with a 12 foot bullseye.

Cold weather hunting bibs
Engraver99 replied to Engraver99's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
I had the sanctuary bibs and the mt050 in my basket trying to decide between the 2 if I couldn't find the incinerator bibs. During my research I found out that the sanctuary's were water resistant and I really wanted waterproof so I went with the gortex instead. My pocket fought me tooth and nail pulling out the wallet, but I figure since this would be my last hoorah (as far as new camo goes- had my last good camo for 30+ years), they'd be able to bury me in the sitka stuff (am 59). Wanted to make sure I was warm as my aging continues. The older I get, the colder I get. Also am a firm believer in down which is in the Sitka stuff. Hoping it lasts me 10 years and hoping I last 10 years...lol. happy hunting -
Cold weather hunting bibs
Engraver99 replied to Engraver99's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
Ended up ordering the incinerator bibs in size medium. I think I got the last incinerator medium in the country-had to pay full price. Couldn't find any deals in my size and only found a couple places that even had them in my size. When I did, I frustratingly pulled the trigger before I couldn't get them at all. So now I have the incinerator jacket and the incinerator bibs. Hoping to test them out coyote hunting. thanks for all the suggestions guys -
lol

a couple of my neighbors pigs got sick and the vet came and shot them up with some anti-biotics but they died anyway. He asked if he could dump them on my property so I let him since deer season is over and I do coyote hunt. Now I have a pig bait pile about 125 yards from the garage. I never hunted over a bait pile for coyotes and figure the birds would end up scavenging most of it for their winter food. the 2 pigs are huge - 1 is about 400lbs, the other is about 300lbs. Might be too close to the garage for coyotes to bother but thought i'd give them some time and check them at night once in awhile. I can look out the garage upstairs window to check for any activity. I don't really know the basics of bait pile hunting but thought this might keep those dogs nearby when I go out.
