coyote hunting newbie.

Charlie creek is pretty much my back yard just as a recommendation stay close to the cosi side get down in the clear timber and call they don't like to break cover and they can move very easy in that stuff they don't tend to get vocal till about 830 pm but move alot during the day if you can get close to the pit

so you live down the nishka area its to bad that company bought that land i use to shoot in that pit down the nishka. i cleaned it up a bunch of times and people kep om dumping there stuff. made a few bucks picking up brass though

I had my best day calling ever today. I called in 1 bobcat, 2 coyotes, and a hawk. I only ended up with one dog on the ground. Looked like cosy hill was covered this morning. Rigs on every gate.

Was that you in the gray Nissan four door

No, I drive a green dodge ram. I was farther south. Looks like this predator hunting is getting popular. There were rigs parked on several gates from Cosy to Joe Ck.

I found a new spot I would like to try, so hopefully I'll make it out Saturday again. If one you guys are out and see me around my truck, feel free to stop and BS. It's a lifted blacked out Ford with a red stripe towards the bottom of the doors. I may need to buy a new rabbit call. Mine keeps cutting out and doesn't have that good raspy sound anymore. Sounds like a worn out duck call Haha.

Good luck to you Cobra and report back after the weekend. 

First time ever out last Saturday and heading out again this Saturday.  I did have shots on dogs last Saturday, they were on a full run and instead of having my AR in hand I had the .243 Tikka and had to cycle that damn bolt.  I will not make that mistake again.  Did see 7 dogs only had opportunity of 2 of them.  Did figure out the Foxpro which was a plus.  I did not realize you had to "send" to change the calls so for the first hour I just thought all the calls sounded the same until I realized they were the damn same and I figured out my mistake.

Good luck this weekend.

I went out to a new spot Saturday morning. Only tried the one spot before having to go into work to diagnose some engine troubles on one of our trucks. No luck. I called from some open timber with ferns everywhere. No wind. Little pokes of sunshine. Then nonstop rain until I got back to the truck. I went to another new area after work and set up my game camera. While setting it up I heard two yotes yipping what sounded like 1/2-1,mile away so I quickly crouched down under a tree that had low hanging branches and I called. I could hear them yipping again and really thought they would show up. Two ravens kept circling and making noise, so I must be doing it right. I called for approx. 20 secondsand waited ten. I was laying on my stomache and not moving at all. I never did see them. I waited for about an hour and called every 5-10 minutes.

keep at it, your on target, there is no need to lay down, you can sit or even stand, just becareful on your movements, your not trying to be invisible, just look like a chunk of wood or something, more important to see them first, so keep your eyes as high as you dare, glove your hands and wear a face mask, looking around and working that call,  is like flashing code out there. covering them up, limits this....really scan like crazy with the binos, look for that face. odds are you have called in something, and just dont know it. Bino bino bino...good luck.

I probably have called something in. The problem is I have awesome eyesight and believe it or not, it makes it difficult to pick out animals if they don't move. My dads friend is color blind and he can see deer laying down a long ways away. The first part of the morning I was actually perched up on a stump in the timber, kind of hidden behind the bushes growing on it. I had gloves and a face mask on. I was laying because the branches Hung too low to sit and I could see the area really well in army crawl position. I am anxious to check my game camera. I put it in an area where I've seen a cougar, lots of cougar sign and a few bears. Hopefully ill get something on it.

seeing an animal on the move no matter how far is easy, what i mean is this, kinda assume from time to time that you have called something in. You know that feeling you get when you think you are being watched....So I'm saying, in between calling, and looking, for animals coming in, look for that face peaking over a deadfall, or just inside a tree or brush line. about a quarter of the yotes i kill are found and killed in just this manner. some yotes are just naturally suspicious, or just not that hungry but curious, these are the dudes that flank you, come in from the side, then just sit there staring at you wondering what the heck you are.

i did not know that good info right there

I will definitely start looking closer. I need to invest in some good binos. Mine aren't very clear. Next time I go out I will try to borrow my dads swarovskis. I ordered rainshadows hand call package a couple days ago. I figure someday I will be glad to have it. Saturday morning I will only be able to do a quick morning hunt and grab my game camera.
