Title: Coyote Success Rate
Post by: d-rock on March 08, 2011, 12:12:58 PM
What is your average success rate for coyote hunting per stand?  If you set up 10 times how often do you get a kill?  How often do you see one at all?--1 in 10?--1 in 4?-- 1 in 100?- etc.

I am asking for all the new guys out there.  This will help us get a feel for how you successful Yote hunters are doing, and how many stands to put in using the same techniques before trying something different.  I know this will be different based on location in the state, experience, dry spells, and a whole list of other factors but I am curious about ballpark figures.

It all depends sometimes I will get one to respond on each set sometimes I will go 10 or more sets with absolutly nothing.

I usually average one kill a day in country  I know, that's about 5 or six stands a day and I can keep that average up for a week or two continous.  In new country that average drops to half of that or less untill I get to know the country.  I usually average one kill for every three I see, but I don't take high percentage shots just come back another time and set up better.

This is a little off of the Subject but I was out near Brewster for the weekend & there was dogs every where. They were howling / screaming all night and I would get up at first light & see them cruising all around looking for food. It snowed 2 inches last Saturday night & the tracks I saw Sunday driving around was awesome. I wasn't hunting but they could use some help out there. I was right off old hwy 97 just north of town, lots of country. Mike

Well this last season I was 1 for 1 on seeing a coyote. I had scope problems and a few bullet issues so my kill rate was 1 in 5 stands

In good country (shrub steppe) a 1:4 ratio would be pretty good.  Up here in Pend Oreille County, I'm more like 1:10...I think it depends a lot on the prey availability (seasonally) and temperature quite a bit.

Last year I was 1 kill out of 3 / 4 on average. This year has been horrible for me. In 15 sets I've called in 4, only had a good shot at 1 and my partner missed.

This is all great data thanks to all that replied.  It'll help us newbies know when change it up.

One in Five.  Some mornings raise the average quickly, other mornings just lower it.

This year on this side of the mountain I'm about 1 our of 3-4, on the eastside 1 out of 2-3. On this side the most I've ever called into a stand was 3 and that only happened once, but on the eastside it would be anywhere from 2-4 most of the time. I love hunting the eastside but I live on the west

For me it depends on who Im with.  But usually I have a 1 in 6 ratio if im actually hunting for yotes.  Seems when I bear call, that I call in a 1 for 1 ratio, but dont shoot in fear I will scare bears away. >:( :bash:

I have been calling one in for every 12 stands.  Kills are more like 1 in 30 though.
