First time coyote hunting

[fadetoblack188]

Really want to give coyote hunting a try.

WAs just going to head up near greene county with a call and sit and see if anything comes in.

Any tips ?

Thanks

Coyotes tend to come in on the peripherals of where you're calling from rather than straight in at you... they will try to get downwind of the call before coming in... not a big tip, but one I have noticed over the years that helps.

I don't like to blast away on the call if I'm using a mouth call. I like to call for 30 seconds and shut up for a few minutes, then repeat. A lot of times Ive heard them coming before I've seen them coming. So if ur blasting away on a call you won't hear them footsteps. always be ready down wind, that's where they pop out 99 percent of the time. Also be ready and have a steady rest because a lot of time you only get a split second to shoot.

I hunt 4H/4B (Greene County) and over the past couple of years sitting in my ladder stand and using the little can you turn upside down and it supposed to sound like a Doe/Fawn I have had multiple occasions of Coyotes coming in . I've never taken a shot but would love to someday !  On one property I hunt in 4H  the local town drops off Road Kill on their half acre which is adjoining the property so the Coyotes are well fed !

The more of the coyotes senses you can appeal to the better. If you're hunting daytime, a decoy and even a luring scent can pay off. Your calling is what initially strikes their interest, but if they can visually lock onto a decoy then they will likely come right in(if they don't catch your scent first). They will move in the daytime, but they like to stick to the thick/brushy areas to hunt. So my tip is to hunt in/adjacent to thick spots. Remember, they WILL smell you if you're not mindful of the wind direction. They'll also smell your boot tracks, so try to plan your entry if you know the area you'll be hunting.

Good luck
