This will be the first time going out for coyotes. I've heard the area is good and my wife's family owns a house near the tail end of Moses lake near Rockyford creek off hwy 17. I've done a bit of reading,bought a few books to get general knowledge, but experience is priceless so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

I live in the tacoma area, and if you ever wanted to split gas, I'd be down for a trip. School and work schedule allowing of course...

What I can tell you is to watch the wind, there sense of smell is amazeing.camo ya and no. I have got them in work cloths. I think what is most important is keeping movement to a minimum. Don't be afraid to mix your calling up if something isn't working. Be patient, normally it seems like they come in in the first five minutes. But i have seen them come a runnin after twenty. When you are done with a set scan the hole area not once,but twice. Even three and four never hurts. There have been a few times when the music stops andvim ready to move on that I have looked around and had one waiting to dance. I'm south of mosses, if ur around and it works, pm me and maybe we can see what we can scare up.

I have learned to find pockets, small areas, usually far apart, little 1-5 acre areas that most folks pass by. A small spot by a wheat field, maybe 100' X 100' that they cannot farm, old abandoned building sites, if there is no brush go prone and use the land contour to hide. Sneak to your stands, irrigation circles well points. Corn fields. I have had better luck north of I 90.
Maple Valley is pretty populated but there are some pockets.

No clue where maple valley is, but welcome. You can be,told,read and watch videos. But the best learning is trial and error. But advice is helpful. Just remember, free advice is often worth what it costs!lol

Maple Valley is part of the wetside.......think black diamond, or Enumclaw area, basically south east of Seattle and north east of Tacoma by an hr or so. I travel to Moses area frequently all seasons but do not live there, thought i would get some local insight. Sounds like it might be more populated than expected, during the winter months i do hear a lot of shots, but never ventured out myself, mainly fishing.
Look forward to being part of the forum. as for those offering to meet up; i will see what happens, like i said just had a baby 3 months ago so as much as i keep telling myself time will free up, reality may slap me in the face as usual.
Thx,
Ryan

Good luck coyote hunting! Plenty of yotes for everybody here in the basin. I usually scout/road hunt first light in morning to find dogs moving from open fields back to thick cover. Then I know where to set up and call later in morning.

New member here, wanted to say hello to everyone; born and raised in Washington currently reside around 4 corners in maple valley. I'm looking for guidance on coyote hunting over in the soap lake/Moses lake/Ephrata area. Not looking for anyone's special spots just looking for a starting point, access areas/roads, best practices for the area etc. any help would be greatly appreciated.
This will be the first time going out for coyotes. I've heard the area is good and my wife's family owns a house near the tail end of Moses lake near Rockyford creek off hwy 17. I've done a bit of reading,bought a few books to get general knowledge, but experience is priceless so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Please be very careful hunting for coyotes during waterfowl season. Especially around popular duck hunting areas. Duck hunters are hard to see. We always coyote hunt AFTER duck season especially if we're hunting around water.when bird season is over we'll set you up down the road from the inlaws. Until then there is just too much that can go wrong.
Remind me!

Sounds good Tom, I may do a little scouting over thanksgiving, looking for habitat, signs of Yotes, access areas etc.
