coyote help
« on: August 07, 2015, 12:24:47 AM »
I've never hunted yotes so I need a bit of guidance. 

The spot where I'm hanging trail cams is really thick stuff on the side of a fairly steep hill.  On two occasions, I've had a dog start barking and howling at me from only about 75 yards.  He was in the same area both times when he got vocal.  I was going to go after him with my 9mm sidearm last time he went off on me, but the woods are so noisy and the brush so thick that that I figured it would be better to exit that day and try to get him to come to me in the future.

What do you folks think is the best plant to get this guy up the hill where I can see him?

Many thanks!

In close quarters 60 yards or less 12 gauge with Coyote Hevi shot works great.  Are you available during the week to hunt?

KenPCPilot - PM sent.

So, what call would you recommend to pull a dog away from a territory they seem to be protecting?  General predator call?

Thanks!

High pitched barks and howls.  Nothing too crazy, do it softly.  You might be able to get close doing this but call sparingly or you'll just get into a long range conversation.  Try to pin down his location and see if you can catch him sitting on a stump or log because he'll be trying to get a look too.

You will be imitating a challenger but a young dog and not the Big Dog. 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Interesting.  Obviously, there's a lot to learn.

I have not had great over all success with challenge howls but when it works they come fast barking and yipping all the way.  I blew it one time as the coyote popped its head up 20-25 yards over a sand dune and I shot over its head with my rifle.  I should have used my shotgun.

If somebody hasn't blown it with coyotes then they haven't hunted them...whether they know they blew it or not  ;)

If it were me, I would douse the target area in a little skunk pee, and use a rodent coaxer call.  If the coyote is at ease your chances of seeing him will be better.  He already knows of your presence, do not think a howler would be of any benefit now.  And ditch the handgun for primary use and use a shotgun with a coyote rated load.
