lack of coyotes

[demontang]

Man ive been hunting a lot latly and have seen a single coyote other then on private ground. The spots I have hit are my hot spots that produce them regularly but no dice. I havent evern got a reply when I howl to locate them.

That's great news! Maybe you killed most of them last year!

[Heredoggydoggy]

Same here--last year I was at least getting answers to my howls.  This year, not evan a reply.  One qualifier: I did get a reply on one night hunt I did, but the pack sounded WAY off in the distance, and they never came in.

What a great disappointment it will be if we find that the coyote population has crashed.

I have seen more yotes this year than any other  Although they have all been on private property

I haven't seen any evidence that there are less coyotes--still see lots of tracks and scat.  For some reason they just aren't talking back!

Seems to be spotty this year, Could just be the nice weather and the coyotes are fat and happy still.

Around here a lot more folks out hunting them this year and previous years that's for sure

I'm running into the same thing. Have been to all my hot spots, and haven't seen any... Best night I had was this past weekend when they would howl back, but never came into view. Been slow going this year for sure... Normally I have 6-10 on the ground by now... Going to be a long winter of fruitless hunts it feels like.

Probably sent while sitting on the ferry... While using Tapatalk 2

Did a stand on the in laws property the other day and all we had come to our calls were deer.  Seriously...we had 3 does and 2 bucks come to a rabbit in distress call???

Some days they will respond to the howls, and some days I won't here a peep.  (same area)  Part of it I think is the barometric pressure changes that we've had.

Rabbit distress sounds a lot like fawn bleats.  I gave up on rabbit distress for that reason, mainly.  I even had a bunch of deer come running to coyote howls.  They looked like they were ready to kick some coyote butt!

Its just odd I think im going to have to travel more..

[Big10gauge]

yep, I'm traveling about 100 miles one way or more to find them.Once the snow and 20 deg weather hits it should be good. Just hope it happens before they breed. Now here's a hint, try using something besides rabbit or bird. I have been calling in more doubles and triples right now than singles.
