lots of yotes here in whatcom
just wondering do you hunt in the national forest or private ranches?
that seems like Democrat kind of behavior to me.
find something to contribute and maybe someone will offer up some help. I'm not meaning it as slander... but when someone asks for help, without working to help themselves... that seems like Democrat kind of behavior to me.
looking to learn, willing to provide gas/lunch/ammo/etc... and able to get any gear i might need.
The school of hard knocks can provide an invaluable education in the art of calling predators (or any other hunting)... you know that Billy. I don't want to hunt with anyone that doesn't at least have an Associates Degree from that school... Bring something to the table... that's all... fishin' hole, duck blind, etc... most guys can pick-up their own tab... but the last couple of guys I've just said "hey, I can show you a little"... flat wore out the spots I showed them, and I got nothing in return.
Hey billythekidrock, you obviously didn't read his posts because he said not once but three time that he has never gone before.
The people on this website are not just a bunch of guides looking to take rookies out for a good hunting experience in exchange for McDonalds and gas.
Good helpful advice and what uncoolperson wants is not the same.
uncool-To me it sounded like you were trying to buy info. You started asking for help way back in November, surely since then you could have found some time and somewhere to go and a least tried.
Coyote hunting is the most accessable hunting there is. No season, bag limit, night or day, any weapon, and unit doesn't matter.
hey billie, you are not getting what most of us are trying to say. Yes i know there are nice people on this site that are willing to take out new guys and i get that. but what we are all saying is just try for yourself for a while and then ask, don't just say you want to do something and you need someone to get you into it. Have you ever heard the saying, "If i had to exlpain it, you wouldn't understand anyway." If Uncool is that green and has never been once, how would any advice help. What would he have to compare it to. Coyote hunting is the most accessable hunting there is. No season, bag limit, night or day, any weapon, and unit doesn't matter. To say that you have no time to take yourself out but you will have time if someone else takes you is BS. It seems to me that you just nominated yourself to teach him take him along so good luck, if you need any pointers just ask.
or some general directions (what and how, as well as where if possible).
The main thing is don't be afraid to call. Sometimes they come in when your all screwed up. Anything you put out as far as a call goes is closer to success than silence. Just give it a whirl some guys hook up at thier first stand others during thier second season. I learned to call by watching dvd's. I'm not the best for sure but I get my share. Best of luck to you.

I was just trying to say don't let fear of sounding bad scare ya out of trying.

Hey uncool, i guess you understand and i swear i am not trying to sound like a total dick. But in the area i live many know me as an avid predator hunter and all the time i see people who want info from me that I got just by a little hard work. I said it before and i will say it again, i am more than willing to give any advice you want maybe even some areas but i have a hard time because it SEEMS you haven't done much to learn thusfar. So i guess i ask you, what have you done specifically to start up hunting coyotes. What have been your first steps to getting into it. Have you got an area that may have coyotes, have you scouted, do you own a call and if so what kind, have you bought any books or dvds. I think the preaching is over just go out and give them a try, that is the best advice you could get. If you go out and put in the footwork, I swear it will pay off. Just don't overcall an area. The biggest mistake a rookie can make is calling in the same spot time after time. I only call the same spot twice in a year and make it at least 1 month apart and use a different sound each time. Good luck

Up in your area I'd be asking around with the local farmers being calving and lambing season they usually want the yotes gone and are happy to tell you where to find them....lol

Billy... you're a much respected guy here... if fur and I seem out of line... we probably are to some extent. For that I appologize, but I don't think fur or myself was trying to be an dick... sometimes tough love is hard to type, you know? Now... had I seen that... I'd have shot him a PM with some good info. We killed over 100 dogs in 3 straight years in Whatcom county... that don't mean that everyone should have access to them though.
