I am having about the same luck on the westside. I was going to go out this morning, but it is snowing and raining here so I thought I would stay warm and dry at home.

i know what you mean. a couple years ago me and my friends were trying to get into them and we couldnt get any of them to come our way. one day we went out and, the weather was terrible no dogs anywhere and my dad had just got off of work(hes a firefighter/perimedic) and he told me that earlier a guy had ran over a coyote in the road.... the funny part to this story is the guy was on a motor cycle and when they asked him what went on. he replyed......"DID I GET HIM. did i get the coyote?".............

I'm having trouble as well. They are thick around here at night but are scarce during the day. I think that they are on to me.

Gotta do somethign totally different than they're been listening to for the last 5 months. Sometimes that doesn't even work!
Almost time to howl, that'll bring a new surge of takers!

It's mating time, they are marking the snow all over the place, I went out this afternoon and give the sexiest howl I could, waited 1 minute and give another one. I was in a place I could see a lot of ground, in 5 minutes I see 3 coyotes in different places, they won't answer and come in very slow, I only got one before dark.

The snow was deep, and soft.....then it got cold and crusted over. The 'yotes went on a feeding frenzy with being allowed to catch some game. They could walk on top of the snow now (been finding some very fresh deer "bones").
And the moon is full, to very full.....
Try 'em at night now. They ain't coming to call during the day...bellies are full, but boy are the tracks everywhere!
Now if I could just try my own advice! My buddies called and told me they were heading out tonight.
Good Luck to 'em!

Just got back from a week of coyote hunting and tent camping out in the eastern part of the state. Conditions were brutal last Sunday it rained on top of 8" of snow and then got cold. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we spent postholing back into stand and getting busted time and again from all the crunching. Wednesday afternoon we started going back in our old tracks and recalling the same stands and saw 19 dogs and got 6. I've got one more dog to flesh today and on a board so I can get them off to the tannery next week.

How 'bout adding a decoy??
One yote hunting buddy of mine has a couple of pelts he's tanned that didn't turn out as good as he likes, so I mentioned to him we should build a pvc frame that one of the skin's will fit on. What the heck? My make the males a bit teritorial.

I have only seen one this year. He was smart and would not come out into the clearcut.

jdb, take the reed and bend it up away from the toneboard. Also, clean both the reed and toneboard. Blow with less air volume. It is more important to be smooth and steady, so you don't get breaks in your howl.
The ELK makes great coyote sounds, and one of my favorite howlers is the molded howler by KO Predator. Those are two good production howlers.
Be real simple with your howls everyone, or you will have coyotes going the wrong direction. A long, even howl without barks will work best. Just blow and wait. 90% of the time, you should not be calling with the wind in your face, especially in the late season. The smart ones are left, and they will be circling to your downwind side. Call with a crosswind or with the wind at your back.
Ignore moon phase. That has no bearing on coyote activity. It only matters when you are night hunting, because the coyotes can see you more easily.
Littletoes, if you want to use a decoy make it a small scraggly decoy in a submissive position. Something large will scare off more than it brings in.
That is my advice. Or stay home and leave 'em for me. That works too.

tlbradford-Thanks, sounds like good advice.
I wasn't talking about moon phase, just bright out and they can see enough to hunt, I don't to the "moon phase" thing, only if its bright out, and they were howling like crazy last night!
