So this is my first year hunting. Turkey season went well even though I didn’t fill any tags but I saw plenty signs of birds and even spotted a flock all on the west side. Anyway I’ve been trying to coyote hunt and I’ve seen more crossing the road while driving then I have hunting. I think I’m doing all the rights things but I must be missing something and advice would be much appreciated
Thanks

Let me ask this how important this time of day went coyote hunting?
-
I think coyote hunting is ten times harder than Turkey hunting.
But I'm on the EAST side ,maybe put a gmu your hunting and maybe someone in your area might chime in.

keep track of the time of day your seeing them in what area and get there about 1.5 hours earlier and set up for them.
dogs in my area are just like every other animal dawn and dusk are prime times, sometimes i luck out and get one a few hours before dark like 730 when it gets dark at 930ish.

Pierce and Thurston counties. Ya they are way smarter then turkeys for sure
-
Are you using a call? Or just sitting and hoping (waiting)?

definitely calling

They live by their wits and are adaptable, way more will come to your call than you ever see. Really can not compare them to birds, elk or deer. Whole different level. Good hunting!!!

Thanks for all the advice. I’m using a call of course. Funny thing happened last week,was walking up this Road and had a coyote jump out of the bushes right in front of me lol. Of course by the time I got my rifle ready to shoot he was long gone. Not sure what he was doing in those bushes but made me jump that’s for sure!
