stands to dogs

[WA hunter14]

just curious on how many stands most of you do until you are succesful, put west side or east

for me: west side 6(stands) to 1(coyote)

[wraithen]

I've been on 3 times as many stands on the wetside and you got one more than me.

Most of the time I run about 1 in 5 stands with seeing a yote. Most of the time when I see them I can kill them in the areas I like to call. I am on the east side. I have not got to do nearly as much yote hunting as I have wanted to this year.

[Jerry malbeck]

Yearly average 1 in3
  east side

[btlsoom]

I went out This weekend. Saturday 1-7. The wind was blowing to hard. The last stand I put down the ELECTRIC call and tried the hand call. The hand call travels farther up wind. My buddy and I set up around 4:30pm and started calling. 20mins later I saw a coyote on the other side about 150 yards. *censored*  :bash:He moved right as I pulled the trigger.  :bash:MISSED My buddy and I were standing and getting ready to leave. I was glassing one more time. Then Ryan said he saw a coyote run throw the same spot where the other one was. We dropped back down and started calling again. 5mins later another coyote was moving in. He stopped in the same spot as the first one   "CRAZY LOL I MISSED WHAT THE HELL  So I kept calling  5mins go by and I saw something move.  Another one coming from the left. I got him in my crosshairs. He wont stop moving. Finally he stopped to look. I was on him like flys on *censored*. I pulled the trigger and he was down for the count. FINALLY  I can't believe the other coyotes weren't scared after the first shot. I will stay and call after I shoot from now on. You never know.  Sunday was crazy. We only had time for two sets today. The first one we jumped a dog. The shot would of been free had at 150 yards. I passed of him. Then the other set I was just about to put the decoy down. Then I saw a coyote hunting towards use. He was 70yard or so. I tried to get a free hand shot. The darn wind pushes you all over. He didn't see use so we dropped and started calling. He started circled around down wind. My buddy spotted him at the last minute but no shot. We had fun though.

Do you use a shotgun for your yotes?

[demontang]

ive gone 1:1 a few years here in  the east side but once i head toward the coast its more like 1-100 stands . now ive gone out a few times in the last year and not seen jack but ive slacked way way off 

[BOWHUNTER45]

6x Does seem like a solid number on the westside .. my best day ever was 5 stands 5 coyotes ... but I have had quite a few 6 or more stands with 3 coyotes killed .... When I went this year I called one in just about everytime I went ....that was In Nov. which seems to be the best time to call coyotes on the wetside  I have killed way more coyotes in Nov . than any other month I have ever hunted....you would think the colder it got the more yotes you would call in BUT thats not the case ......for me anyway !

[Heredoggydoggy]

3 years--0 coyotes.  I often get good response to my calls.  They see me before I see them!  Maybe I need new glasses?

[rynokron]

East/Central I'm about 1 called for every 3-5 stands. Wet side more like 1 called for every 10. Finially called a few in on the wet side this last weekend. They never came in shotgun range though.

My called to killed ratio is sadly much lower! Steep end of the learning curve. Someday I'll get this shooting stuff figured out.

I sit with my gun standing vertical and when they ocme in I slowly lower the gun if they get behind a tree or rock then I lower it fast and have it aimed and ready.  I found when you lay it across your lap it moves a lot more than you know about.  Vidoetape yourself and go from there.

15-1 westside.  I am positive I call in more just dont get eyes on them.

I raised my success by placing a tree stand a week prior to the hunting   Right now the foilage is easy to see into and they dont get away with much when Im elavated.  When im on the ground though
