Knowledgeable coyote hunter experience wanted

[fishermanjoe]

I got serious about coyote hunting about a year ago and have never been able to call in a dog to this day. I have read up on just about everything in the hunt-wa threads regarding calling tips and techniques, and even bought a foxpro. I have just recently shot my first coyote due to dumb luck while taking my friend elk hunting. I am a CWU student in the Ellensburg area. I have done numerous setups in Joe Watt, Robinson Can. Whiskey Dick, and the Quill. If you are willing to go out with me and teach me a few pointers out in the woods it would be greatly appreciated. Heck I will drive and cover all the gas money. I would just like to learn more about the art of calling from someone that has had success with it in the past.

Thank you in advance for any advice or takers on a coyote trip!

Always try new places, I have learned that the dogs get call shy after a while. If you are up to driving hit up gasman about his brother and the problem dogs he has.

pm me we can kill a few, make sure you spend your money on good camo, and learn how to set up with the wind, don't use rabbit distress calls, also the moon has a huge affect on the coyote.

Hey guys thanks for the offers. I would love to take you all up on the offers to help! This weekend has been full of homework, and next weekend is booked, I am playing the role of outfitter for the opener of quail and chuckar. I am done with classes at 2:00 every day. and weekend after next is open. Sorry for the late reply...

How does the moon have an effect on a coyote? Is it like deer? Out all night if there is a full moon? Better hunting during new moon?

There are always "better" times to hunt coyotes ("You should have been here yesterday!"), but I'd say there are no BAD times.  Hunt when you can.  Although I haven't hunted with enough success to report from significant experience, I have seen Randy Anderson videos where he shows that he is successful with a full moon (daylight hours) and at midday.

My motto is "You can't shoot 'em if you aren't in the field." That said, so far all my kills (all 4, whoo-hoo!) have been in the first hour of daylight, though I have heard coyotes at other times (they didn't come into my call- that I know of     )

Get a Randy Anderson DVD and watch it a hundred times. He's great. You can get a DVD from him that has instructions and comes with
a call if remember right. Try www.callingallcoyotes.com
I have a Primos "LIL DAWG" the he helped in making. It's probably the best call I have. I've called in bear and coyotes with it.

If you want to learn how to call in predators look for a experianced guide and pay him to take you out on a two to three day hunt .
 Believe me you will cut about 2 to 3 years of brush pounding off your learning curve and in the long run it will save you hundreds if not thousands of wasted dollars spent on lost time and gasoline .
 You have to learn the RIGHT way to do this or it just makes it harder on everyone in the areas your calling .
 Some guys make quick learners and some dont , I have found very few that  can learn the art of calling in a short time and be consistantly sucessful at it without proper instruction .
 sucess is not killing sompthing every time you go out calling , Sucess is killing everything you call in .
Learn to do it right from the get-go and you will be doing yourself and all the rest of us a favor .

  Next Jerry is gonna claim he killed a coyote before.
He gives some good advice, calling to set up the shot is not simple. you also have to learn when to just quit calling and let em go, do not take low percentage shots. If not a guide someone that has experience like Jerry, there are several good callers on this site.

ditto on the Randy Anderson vids. get the calling in all "yotes III" you will learn alot. personally i don't really like the calls he uses, but its a great character study of yotes, and their behavior while being dragged in on an open reed leash.

Actually I did do a guided coyote hunt... saw one at about 600 yards..that was it. hunted hard and covered a lot of ground. I guess i have bad coyote luck.

Experienced guides are about $300 a day from what I've read. I just started calling by myself and learned by mistakes. If one call doesn't work, try another. I've got probably 30 different calls and they all are alittle bit different sounding even though they are the same. If your in Ellensburg go out
towards Vantage , not I-90, where they've put in the wind towers.

Wait a minute, i can actually get paid to do what i've been doing. i think with todays youngsters, they want those long shots, not sure shots from 5 to 75 yards would satisfy them.
