Falfire and I have notice around our area that they will respond within minutes.  4 days later nothing responds.  I'm still convinced it's the weather and barometric pressure.  And there are more pairs than singles for sure already.

I would agree with it being more weather related than anything.  When it's cold, or even better, really cold, the body burns a lot more calories.  Add to it that just finding food is more difficult and you naturally have more movement.

If we got a foot of snow and it didn't break the 20degree mark for 2 months I would be a lot more happy than I am with 40+ and rain.  And since I'm wishing, I wish for NO wind too.  Think I'm asking for to much???  lol

I believe it is weather related also, so try something other than a food call.

You can thank me for that Demontang.  Other than thinning them a bunch, I started wolf howling (practicing) behind my house.  I haven't had a coyote around my place since. :chuckle:     I have seen it work in nature and got tired of them coming in everynight, so I tried it.   WORKED AWESOME

I've wondered if the reason they have stopped howling is increased pressure from Wolves lurking around, but I haven't seen any wolf tracks where I hunt.  :dunno:

heredoggy please don't get discouraged.  none of us seem to be putting a dent in the coyote population.  i woke after my sons this morning and my older son asked for some broadheads for his bow.  why?  The coyote is eating the bird seed in the back yard.  Seen 4 so far just driving around near home.  I am hoping the drier cold spell will be good for me in western washinton.

Me? discouraged?  Hahahahhahahahh!   I just wish it would turn cold and snow, and the damned FOG would leave.
I've found that when there is fog, you might as well stay home.  Deer and coyotes seem to hate fog, and just bed down and wait it out!
