Coyote hunting.

Recommended Posts

Well my bday is coming up and wanted to do go out camping. Then an idea popped in my head to invite couple buddies and try to put the smack down on some coyotes. I've only been out twice ... calling and didn't see much. but i've been practicing and getting much better. Wanted to go up in the pines but dont want to mess with the snow specially with no 4x4. So i think we are headed around juan miller area. I guess my question is, Do coyotes move because of snow/weather (i think they would just like deer/elk move). How often to move set ups after calling?

well being so late in the season you're prolly gonna want to sit a bit longer IMO 30-45 min.

coyotes have been shot at by everyone all season long... hunters, ranchers ect. young ones have gained some smarts and are a little more wary than they were earlier in the year. mating season may still be ongoing but definitely paired up, so you may want to throw out some coyote vocalizations... female whimpers maybe some lone howls or interrogation howls. they still gotta eat, so throw out your best distress calls. I've had good luck with woodpecker distress in the forest.

Good luck and give em' h e l l!

how close to I10 makes no diff. the wind on the other hand ;)

If it is windy and I mean 15+mph call down wind so your sound will carry better.

A couple years ago the world championships up near Seligman the guys that won it were callin in real windy conditions and they would call for 15 minutes or so and then pick up and walk 150yds or so and call again. They called in 15 coyotes in 2 days.

Good luck!

for what it's worth I've had some luck north of benson/pomerane from the cascabell rd go north 15 miles or so to 3 links rd or you can come in from wilcox on the airport rd.

The 3 links ranch is pretty cool lots of stuff to call. I think it is private property or at least you cross his private property and they have always been real nice. The border patrol may check you out though. Allen flats is pretty cool. Seen lots of mule deer and antelope as well as called in a few yotes.

Juan Miller?? I-10?? The only Juan miller I know is in 27 no where near I-10! Is there another one? Juan Miller in 27 would be an interesting area but would have to be careful due to wolves.
