Close coyote hunting

[Aktion]

It`s possible they have came in and smelled or seen you somehow. I hunt a good bit on my farm, and it does`nt take but once to educate them. Is it legal to hunt from a treestand? A decoy and a treestand could mean the difference. Change calls, and wait a couple weeks. If you shoot one, that will end calling within at least half a mile for a month. The howl is very effective right now with mating season coming up. Try that. Do you get an answer if you howl? A bunch of squeals and howls might mean they are pups, so only answer with friendly female howls. But if you get one that is alone, or answers out away from the pack, that might be the dominate dog, if he thinks you are another coyote, he HAS to come in to check you out. Remember, he will circle down wind to see who he`s dealing with. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. It is OK to use a tree stand, although I like being on the ground, or at least higher ground. I have a few good spots, one of which is on the edge of a swamp with really good cover, but my FOV is barely 90deg. If they circle around, I wont see them.

I will try a decoy.

I have not had any responses form my calls in the woods. But I have sat on my deck at night and called and have got responses.

What about scent block? Is there a specific kind for coyote hunting?


Thanks again.
