Coyote Hunting

[Wesley Daniels]

Im new to coyote hunting and im hunting for them in 7S but does anybody have any tips about them? All of our cats and neighbors cats have gone missing so coyotes are my first guess.

Thanks in Advance

if you can go out and use a howler and locate them then set up down wind of them if you call for them they will try and get down wind of whatever you sound like if its a cotton tail in distress or a mouse whatever you decide to use as a call, thats the key is out smarting their nose first second is their eyes if you hunt during the day time they are very difficult to hunt up here in 8a i have been out smarted many times but just be consistant and if you can make it so you can make them come right to you then you got them just dont miss if your hunting during the day time try and use a decoy with a call either electronic or a mouth call what ever your preference is but sometimes if the yotes sense something aint right they may hang up and if you can take out a 223 and a shotgun then you have the long range for when they hang up and the shotgun for the close range if they charge in to the decoy

all right thanks!...on my way home last night i saw something that almost looked like a bobcat down the road from me but by thee time i got back it was gone but it looked like one the way it was standing.

[brudaman340]

I would try using a housecat distress if alot of cats been going missing

[Wesley Daniels]

Yeah iv been trying that but i just talked to my neighbor and her daughter in law actually saw a mouton lion right down the road from my house so that could be what got the cats

[Single_shot]

Oh No! No....no no no no no......now ya did it.

[jim335]

I want to laugh, but hey, ya never know! Paw prints in mud or snow? Do some scouting.

[landtracdeerhunter]

LOL

[Wesley Daniels]

haha yeah i know but ill be looking around for tracks now for "The Mountain lions that don't exist in NY"-DEC....haha....If only we had snow or the ground wasn't completely frozen

[jim335]

I don't know how far away this was from her when she seen it, but I would more believe it was a bobcat, if it was catlike at all.

[carloracer1987]

well if ya see a mt lion shoot it then take it to dec and see what they say

[Wesley Daniels]

haha yeah ill probably get arrested for shooting an animal without a hunting season....She said they lived out in Colorado and they saw mountain lions all the time and had one mounted in there house and the one they saw was bigger than a German Shepherd so i don't think it was a bobcat.

Oh boy...

[nycoyotehounds..BUB]

Get some hounds

[aoudadhunter]

Rabbit in distress and a feather tied to a stick is what we use down here

[BizCT]

There are sooo many mt. lions in NY, yet nobody can ever shoot one or get a good pic of one on a trail cam, or find a dead one. I JUST DONT GET IT?

HERE'S A TIP: LEARN HOW TO FCUKING I.D. AN ANIMAL!

Recently, I heard a guy in Pine Bush, NY got a mt. lion and a wolf on trail cam pics. Still waiting for those pics to surface. My bet is, they never will !

Good luck Wesley!!!

[martin]

Biz-R-OWorld - you mean like the one in torrington,ct that a lifetime hunter had run in front of him going to work. I would call that a positive id. Not sure if we'll ever see pictures since our camera's are not strapped to our back pocket.

Anyways,

Wesley..whether its a coyote or Mt. Lion they are both difficult to hunt. That's why its fun. Everybody has great idea's. I wish I could have hounds. Nothing like a good run in the middle of the night. Good luck in your venture. I grew up in oswego county and loved the hunting up their.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Just because someone is a "lifelong hunter" doesnt mean they can correctly ID any animal they see. Every year, there are "lifelong hunters" that shoot other hunters and then claim they thought it was a deer.

[Elmo]

When there's no one out in the woods to judge and criticize you, you could be doing something wrong your whole life and not know it.

[BizCT]

They have stupid bigfoot show.....next up should be "Mt. Lion Hunters in NY"

A team of people go around NYS looking for mt. lions. They will ask people what they saw, they will hear sounds in the night that, of course, could only be lions. The show would be a big hit! and of course nobody will actually ever see one!!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Hey Biz-R-O, I think you just came up with a good money making venture

[adirondackbushwhack]

I saw a big cat track once in the blue hills. Was as wide as my hand. Not having any experiance with either I can't say if it were linx or lion but it wasn't bob cat. Didn't have a camera to take a pic of the track though. Saw a wolf on the shoulder of eleventh mountain years back too. I once had a neighbor who had a couple of those pet wolfs, you know those hybrids back when they were legal and so I knew what wolf looked like. It was close and I got a good look so I was certain that it was a wolf. Didn't have a canera though. I guess that makes me funny too.
