First time hunting in the summer in Nevada

Going out tomorrow night in the desert.  If any of you have hunted in Nevada during the summer what call sequence do you recommend?

What part of Nevada ? I've always wanted to coyote hunt there. You don't even need a license from what I've heard, true ?
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

True no license required.  I have killed at least 30 yotes here in the past but always in the winter months.  It is a 100 every day but at night drops to the 80s.  I am going out tomorrow night and I am in the fallon area, which is about a hour from Reno.

Its pretty open country.  Here is a picture of Dixie valley from 2009.  Love that place!  However in the summer it sucks!

I know exactly where you're at. I believe there is a truck stop that I stayed at a few years ago with a little casino/bar. I like Nevada, except for the liar Harry Reid.

post some pics.  I have been out 3 times this summer at Capital and did not even hear one peep out of coyote.  See plenty of crap on the roads up there. Good Luck

Called in a fox and some ravens this morning.  Found lots of wildlife and got rattled at :yike:

Went out again and all I called in was a jack rabbit :chuckle:  A big thanks to Upwind for going out with me :tup:  Kept finding fox dens and coyote prints, one more shot at hunting this weekend and hopefully I connect with a desert dog! On a brighter note I have collected 150 lbs of lead while out here.  I dig into the hillside with a shovel and sifter.  These boys out in Nevada must really hate glass :chuckle: They shoot every chance they get, there seems to be more broken glass than sand.

Upwind and I went out for one last push before I head back to Whidbey.  Started calling with my Primos Catnip call and almost instantly heard some angry coyotes, and a few seconds late 3 of them are running towards us at full speed.  All I can assume is the pair ran into lone coyote for them to cause such a ruckus.  The pair get to the top of the hill I was on and I barked them to  a halt.  Wham first one goes down like a truck hit him.  I load a new round (thanks upwind... :chuckle:)  put the crosshairs on the yote and pull the trigger, he gets pushed down the hill yelping.  The 3rd yote by this time is gone.  I knew I hit the 2nd yote but not sure where.   I then grab the 22 and go in thick stuff after him, almost instantly I hear growling and the bushes just frieken exploded, he came charging at me and I popped off two rounds striking him and he rolled and went back into the deep stuff.  Then upwind took the high country while I waited from a vantage and sure enough the aggressive yote started turning his attention to upwind and broke cover, I was able to put a finishing shot and end his anger.   Been a long time since a yote has shown aggression to me, but a very fun and exiciting hunt.  Thanks again upwind for all your hospitality and local knowledge of the desert!

Not sure about the license requirement for badgers, but did not see any or sign of any.

Can you shoot the fox also. I used to live in sparks. Never did hunt coyotes when I lived there but always wanted to

I will have to check the regs, but I think you need a license for those guys...  Going through a divorce no extra money for such things  :chuckle:
