I have been wanting to help eliminate the coyote problem and get some hunting in at the same time but I know absolutely nothing about coyote hunting. I do have a Foxpro Fury 2. however... Could yall give me some pointers as to how to set a spot up? Is it a good idea to use a blind? and do yall have a bunch of different spots you go hit every time you go out? Or do you sit tight for several hours? sorry for all the stupid questions.

There's a ton of info on here where the basic steps have been covered, the basic steps I've learned through lots of questions, research and experience are as follows, I'm sure others will join in but this should get you going:

 

If your in a truck or quad try and drive into the wind. Stop every mile or so, less if the cover is thick more if wide open. Park behind a bush or in a wash and walk into the wind. Go 100-200 yards, make sure your rig cannot be seen and stand or sit, lots of discussion on this I prefer standing and don't move a muscle. I typically stood if using an electric caller and sat if hand calling literally in a bush. The only thing you can move quickly is your eyes.

 

Stand/sit backed up to cover behind you to break up your silhouette. Wear camo, full camo if you have it, gloves, long sleeves, pants, face net, etc.

 

Call for 15 minutes, if nothing then drive another mile and repeat. Key is the number of sets you make. You'll typically get action 1 or 2 of 5 sets. If you shoot a dog keep calling for 10 minutes more from the shot before retrieving, more are on the way usually.

 

Start out calling quiet and increase volume as you go, be stealthy walking to your set to not jump anything close and bedded. Most dogs will come in between 3-8 minutes, careful, they come out of nowhere and will almost alway circle to come in from down wind.

 

If someone had told me all this it would have saved me a ton of time. Hope this help.

For eliminating coyote problems trapping will be much more effective than hunting, snares on fence lines for example.

If you are hunting an area next to a road or well traveled by people hit the mouth call and sound like something they probably haven't heard the day before. I have had luck with electronic calls in areas less traveled by people and mouth calls work best for me over all. If I'm out to call predators exclusively I kind of do it like I'm deer hunting. I get to a good glassing point around a water source then usually climb down 100 yards so I'm not skyline and call for a good 30 minutes. Like fulch said keep calling if you shoot one or even miss cause they will keep coming. A 3d or leafy suit will help a lot to.
