New to Coyote Hunting.. ADVICE?

[bobcat]

The 308 would be a good choice, or whichever rifle you have that is most accurate. Coyotes aren't worth anything, so it shouldn't matter much how big a hole you make. 

[FALFire]

Take the 308.

[krism83]

The one I shoot the most and know front to back is the .300 win mag, the .308 is great but the scope is old and the coin turn adjustment for the windage is stripped a little and it is stuck at 3 inches right of center at 50 yards. I can take either one really, just have to remember to aim left or prepare for a loud morning.

Take the one you can consistently and comfortably hit at least a 6" circle with at 200+ yds every time.

I have a co-worker that I keep bugging to come with me. His excuse is all he has is his .300win . I really don't care what he shoots them with. A dead yote is a good yote. I'm not trying to make a coat, or tan the hides. I'm just trying to get out and have fun.

My brother in law went coyote hunting over the weekend with his only rifle- a 325 WSM. Well he called in a bobcat! Bummer, the cat would have made a good mount, now its just going to be a nice headless bobcat hide.

My dad and I both shoot 300 win mags for yotes. Dont matter much where you hit them.

My thoughts too........... I' d post a picture of a 300 mag coyote, but I think I'll skip that part....

went out a few time over the xmas break. Made a total of 7 stands. Still seeing alot of yoties, but looks like there holding up.   I work today, then have tomorrow off. Hittting it again. 

[Raul Duke]

Some of the last few stands I've done, I havnt had any yotes come in. I am getting crows to come see what all the screaming is.
Is this a good thing? Bad? Or just normal? For crows to come in.

[wraithen]

Normal for me. It will give you firsthand experience at how loud some eagles and hawks can scream when they're pissed at you. I have yet to see one of these rumored coyotes though. I think gringo killed em all by now.

Yeah I get them to come in most of the time. They do get really obnoxious but at least they give me something to donate a round or 2 of some #4 buck to if no coyotes show up...

probably already mentioned, didnt read thru all the way, basically have and do all this:

camo camo camo, i mean face and hands too, especially face and hands,
shooting stix
simple to use open reed, such as a medium size critter gitter. or closed read such as a Circe med/long range rabbit.
know the direction of the wind.

if ya spook one, its easy to get them to stop, just calm down dont hurry the shot, let him go, get on him with the scope, then squeal, shoot 1 second after he stops. ( keep in mind your bullet drop if over 250 yards).

its all you need, you can expand from there. get a copy of randy andersons calling all coyotes.

UPDATE:  47 sets since last kill.   
QUESTION?    This time of year (suppose to me pairing up).  I had a situation yesterday where I was on a ridge and let off a long howl.  About 200yrds to my left 1 yote responded , triggering about 3-4 on the other side of a hill about 400yrd out to start howling.
 The yote on the left would let off short barks, mixed with long howls. The group on the right just long howls. Like gathering howls ( if that makes sence).   
  We had a little stand off of just howling to each other for about 1hr 20min.  About every 15-20 it would come to a complete stop, then I would switch howlers and everything would start all over again.   Not once did either group come over the hill there where behind to let me see them.   At the end of it all, I went about 10min with complete silence. let off a howl, No responce, waited another 10min another howl..no responce. So I packed up and left.   
Great experiance, but no kills. 
What else could I do in this situation??
