gear - random camo that you already own and a hand distress call for $7 at walmart.
places - somewhere where you can see a little bit

For a call, if you can afford an electronic call, Foxpro has a good reputation.
The best places to hunt- private farm land is what I would suggest, if you can get access to any. Otherwise try clearcut areas on state or private timberland.

I have a Rem 788 in .22-250 & a Marlin .22 mag, but am also considering a shotgun for this side of the mountains for some of the brushier spots. But I will put a hole in one with whatever I have at the moment if given the chance.
Camo that blends with or at least doesn't starkly contrast with your hiding spot, wind direction and movement on your part are generally speaking, more important than camo.
Hand calls are cheap, light to carry, and effective. Electronic ones have their uses as well.
Locations where you have a fairly good field of view, bordering some type of cover, areas with tracks on/beside the road or trails, poop in the road, or food sources like farms. Places that will not allow deer & elk hunters can often be persuaded to allow coyote hunters to protect their chickens, livestock, etc. Never hurts to ask.

Calls...I wish I knew the answer. I am still learning the calling aspect of coyote hunting. Some make it look so easy but I really struggle for some reason. :twocents:
I guess practice makes perfect.

For calls I have a FoxPro Scorpion, for the simple reason that it's small and packable, even in a pocket. I also have several mouth calls in both open reed and closed reed. I like RR Calls the best, and have had the best response to them of all my calls.
I have lots of camo wear, and even have a Ghillie Suit. But the yarn on the Ghillie snags on EVERYTHING, so I don't like it that much. Next time I'll go for the leafy camo wear. If there is such a thing as being a sucker for calls and camo, I'm it! :chuckle:

One Gun stands - Ruger mini 14 with 2.5x8 Leupold and red dot on side of scope.
Nighttime - Sako 6mm/.223(6x45) with Leupold illuminated 1.5x5 with Nightforce PredX light mounted on scope, and Magnalight handheld spotlight.
Calls - FoxPro for electronic.... Trying Shock Wave right now, don't think you can go wrong with FoxPro.
Hand calls.... I have over 200 in my cabinet,when I am successful with one it goes into the display cabinet. So many factors so much more important to your success than the call.....wind being and approach are what I always focus on. My opinion, just about any call will work, we probably all have our favorite, but I haven't found that "Magical one" yet, but I keep looking. Be careful getting into the call collecting, it gets expensive when you start going custom! :) :twocents:

Has anyone shot a yote with .22 mag, will that be powerful enough to drop one?never a .22 mag but dropped a few with a .22lr at 50 yards or less. So can't see why a mag couldn't do it.

I haven't heard anyone say a thing about a shotgun. I might not stay with only a shotgun, but if you have one you can be hunting today. Rolled up a dog at 60 yards using #4 buck a couple years ago. :twocents:
yep
Look at DFW waterfowl areas once the season is over most will have yotes who are use to hunting cripples. Steel loads, and plugged gun. But it can work.

That's the nice thing about a combo you can reach out across a clear cut if you have to.Been eyeing something like that for awhile now. Never fails when I walk with the kids for their deer tags, take the shotgun see yotes or take the ar and see grouse.
