New to Coyote Hunting.. ADVICE?

Looking at the pictures, I see why you're shooting a 22-250.  That's what I've been carrying.  Now that they are packing up, soon I'll be carrying an AR.  Might even get to use the 6.8 SPC this year.  Good for longer shots.

What should you do, when you find a den?   
Went out this morning, and followed some tracks in the snow back to 2 dens, on the side of a hill.
I didn't disturb anything, but as I walked away. I got to thinking. Do I set up about 100yrds away and call?  Do I just leave it as it be, so I dont run them off?

I would set up a ways away and call, or just obsurve and shoot.

I've wondered that too. I always wonder if they are even in there or if its an old one, but in your case its sounds like they were in there for sure. I have set up about 150+ yds away and called but nothing ever came out. I even shot at the ground next to the den thinking it may "smoke" them out. Didnt work.....

you can't smoke a coyote out... Dens are thier defensible castle they won't leave no matter what.

well good thing I didnt go for Plan C - reach in there and grab their @$$!   

[Heredoggydoggy]

If you walked anywhere near the den, they know you were there.  Now that you've located their den, wait a week and view it from a good distance where you won't contaminate the area with your scent.  By then maybe they'll forget you were around.

UPDATE, for the month of November.


went 54-0 , yes, 54 stands, and ZERO kills.     I hit a total of 15 diffrent locations, some I only went to once, others where spots I regularly see yoties.  Well here are some pics from my hunts. Wish I had pics of dead yotes. Feel like I'm letting my "Team" down, sice I can't carry my own weight.  Just have to hit it hard this month. Got alot of new gorund to check out.
Maybe Next Time!






Think this pic, shows what might of been part of my cold streak.

Do you mean the movement or the black and white blocks that are your face and facemask?
