LI Joe Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've started to target coyotes on my property the last few years, but I'm not sure which would be the best way to hunt them. Last year I was out with some friends and we set up in fallen timber with 2 electronic callers going. We were out for sunrise, sunset, and midnight. I'm going up this weekend and plan on taking my shotgun with 3 1/2 buckshot and my Marlin 336 with .44 leverloution ( shoots great out to 150 yards). I'd love to find their dens and target those areas. Besides tracking them to the dens, what areas do they prefer to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gthphtm Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Pick up some road killed deer,might need a permit from the PD where you see them to take them.Should have them coming for a free dinner in a few days.With the snow on the ground you might be able to follow there tracks.If you are anywhere near the side of a hill with plenty of big boulders or rocks,I would look there.#4 heavy shot.or #4 dead coyote works but not cheap.

LI Joe Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have 3 1/2 inch hevi-shot in #2 that I don't like for goose thought I'd load up with that. I stick to xpert 3" 4 shot for goose now. I have better patterns with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI Joe Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 There is a good mix of terrain, ravines, cliffs, hills, and creek bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycoyotehounds..BUB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Coyotes dont den unless they are ready to have pups. Back track them and you will learn where they sleep. On mounfds or bogs or on knolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
