Wiley ones?    I ran into a bunch of pups calling for Mom alongside a business park in Kirkland last night.  I've seen more at night on city streets than anywhere else.

Try more time in fewer spots.

Yeah its a whole different story with wetside yotes.... why ? I have no idea !!! They only come to certain calls .... one month they come running and the next they will not come at all ... But I have kept track when it seems to be the best and it seems I have killed more in November than any other month as far as calling goes ....

[wraithen]

They are very well educated over here. I've gone so far as after calling it quits walking a big circle around my caller to see any sign of them coming in and not seeing what they wanted to and leaving. Nothing. I think a lot of them have started associating a distress sound as a bad sound and only hunt what they see. They also seem to get really brazen where they know they can't be shot like in city limits. Kain and Bearmanric seem to have them dialed in pretty well for over here and they still have problems. Just keep up the good attitude and branch out. Wherever anyone else can walk in and call is probably not going to be highly successful for you. I keep them in league with bigfoot right now as I've seen just as much of one as the other.

I have had the most luck hunting west side coyotes around food sources such as garbage dumps, duck ponds, and large chicken facilities.

that is one ugly mug! you decide if I am talking about the yote or not. nice shootin though. I still havent put a kitty under my belt yet

This has been my experience as well but I am not ready to given up as I know dogs are there see the sign and hear them.  Anybody tried or had any luck with baiting?  They are wiley and hoping to start going out with partners to cover my back as the suckers somehow seem to know which direction I am not facing.  I saw evidence of this in a recent snow.  I am going out but I agree not to far from civilization as I keep running across them close to humans.  Case in point 2 years ago one chased my cat up on to our front deck and had as some point actually had a hold of the cat but no punture wounds were present.  The fur on the cats left hindquarters was pulled out in a couple of places.  My wife heard the comotion and opened our front door and saw the coyote standing there and it took off.  We have seen several different ones in  our neighborhood.  I have seen them more than once running through a parking lot of an apartment complex just down the road from me when I have came home from work at 03:00.  Trouble is finding safe and legal hunting areas in this type of enviroment.  I am going to try some more night hunting adventures to see how that pays off.  On an 8 acre plot where I lived in Winlock, Wa I actually had a den on the hill side.  I was out of hunting at that time and never bothered them.  Suckers would be irritating especially the pups with their yipping and yapping.  I would actually go out at night stand on the hill and shout to get them to shut up so I could be some sleep.  There is the major north sound railroad line running through Winlock so if it wasn't the train horn blasting it the coyotes howling at the train horn.  Looking back I probably should have invested in some ear plugs.   If you ever want to hook up for a hunt you can PM me I work 3 days a week and varible days so I often go out during the week to avoid crowds.

eastside is much better,the wetside dont get as cold,colder the better.I cant afford the gas to get out much,and the leg dont like to get out much either 

[bearmanric]

Try more up by satsop way towards matlock or Lincoln creek. I'm going through some killer country in a bit. There are kit fox ,grey fox and swift fox here can only shoot coyotes tho. Going to hang out a Allpredatorcalls. Then into Arizona. Wait till you see the wood Kerry carver gave me and Willow creek. Good luck. Rick

[pianoman9701]

Has anyone taken out an ad in Craigslist offering their predator control services to farmers and ranchers? This might be a great place to start finding wetside coyotes.

[cameron tyler]

thanks everyone, il look into it rick, have fun! well have to hook up again when u get back

[sirmissalot]

The westside is tough. I've been thinning out the crow population, since thats easy and the season was coming to an end. Now I will have more time to try coyotes and bobcats. Try to get permission to hunt farmers fields, thats about all the advise I have. The cattle will be dropping calves soon

To many people think you are hunting a different coyote than the east, YOU ARE NOT.  If i brought an eastside coyote over here it would be the same outcome.  No matter what coyote you hunt, you cannot take them out of there comfort zone.  You are trying to do what everone else wants to do, go to a clearcut and pull them to the edge.  For the last 5 months they have heard trucks, voices and gun shots coming from roads overlooking the same clearcuts you are trying to pull them into.  On the east you think that coyotes respond better because you see them running hard for a half mile, here they just appear out of thin air, but they come the same, that is the difference between open sage and timbered brush.  Think outside the box and go in and get them.  Go to area people dont, then walk even farther, then still go in and get them.  YOU GO TO THEM
