Gonna start with coyotes.

[elk247]

If I was bow hunting yotes I think id try using a ground blind to cover up my draw movement. A used one should do just fine. The chicken farm is the perfect location and getting approval to hunt it should be easy. Coyotes are smart. Too bad you cant have someone back you up with a rifle if you aren't presented with a shot. So as not to educate the varmint. If you can use bait legally you should be able to have a nice little setup.

Smossy - Did you ever get out and try coyotes? I am thinking of doing the same thing. we camped on my property a couple of weekends ago and heard them all night. I would be interested in knowing if you had any success and what tactics you used?

Thanks

Unfortunetly I havent. I had to sign up for a very late May 20th Class to even get my Hunter Education so I havent had the opportunity to get anything yet. Im counting down the days though. Had a pack so close to the house the other day I thought the neighbors dog was being attacked. I was inside the house just about and heard it like the were blasting an electric coyote call next door. Sounds like a decent sized pack and they've been moving closer and closer to the house.

I would use a ground blind with an attractant, and calls.  Spray some coyote urine on the ground near your caller and have a red light flooding the area but not too bright you scare them.  Shouldn't take a lot of light 30 yards out.  Put the light in a static location (not scanning) covering the attractant well ahead of the blind so your in the dark behind the light.

Primos stray cat might be your ticket

Sounds like some great advice to me. Maybe ill just use the neighbors cat. jusst kidding.. That will prob be my battle plan then when it comes down to pickin them off. My girls step dad has a nice 360 blind he said i can use whenever. So thats a start.

It only takes a couple of yotes to sound like several......

Have you thought about a crossbow? It would get you more range? 

Not much more. If im not mistaken average effective range for xbow is 60 yards. But my question about that is... im not alowed to possess firearms... im limited already on my season... but.. being as its year round to hunt for coyotes would i actually be able to use one for that? Hmm you brought up a good idea worth finding out... i didnt want to pick up a xbow origioanly because i want to use my compound durring big game season and not have to choose between the two. So would i/ should i pick up a crossbow strictly for year round animal hunting? Coyote/rabbit etc. Then i could put electronics on it if im not mistaken like my lights at night to chase yotes. Sorry for my weird typing if it looks off.. im on my unsmart smart phone.

Why can't you posses firearms?

To increase your proficiency as an archer, just use the same bow you intend to hunt big game with......

Past Felonies in a previous life.

Felonies = Two crimes that ran together in a single act. Not multiple outings.. Just figured Id clarify. One mistake, worth multiple charges & at this point there is no trying, Its been turned around. That person I was died long ago.

[elk247]

You can even skin 'em. Ya know, for the practice.
