Hi, I'm new here, though I feel like I know everything because I've been reading for weeks on end. I'm trying to get out to a friends property in Kitsap to do my first coyote hunting.
There are 2 fields with a pond in between, and a small stand of trees next to the pond. When I set up there to go deer hunting late last season I had a coyote come in when I was attempting a doe in heat bleat call. Should of just popped him, but I was hunting over a great looking rub line, hoping for Mr. Buck.
Well, the neighbors there breed rabbits that just roam free out side, and it keeps the coyotes from eating their chickens. I think that's their logic. So my plan was to get up in the tree about 10 feet, hang out in my camo and call something in with a rabbit call. I also have a Primos Sit 'n Spin decoy. It spins randomly and has a little head and ears on top, not sure where to put it though.
My friend who's giving me permission to hunt there has noticed quite a few coyotes that are getting a little bit bold on his 20 acres. They regularly see them around their chicken coop, at times trying to get through the wire, and they come within 40 yards of the house. They got a couple of their cats. They will also just sit in the field and watch you when you come and go from the house at times. I have read quite a bit, but want to be sure I'm successful, so I thought I would ask and see if there is anything else I should be doing. The little tree stand in the middle is where I plan to hunt from. The tree's I'll be in allow for shots from 10-100 yards across the field. Thanks!
