Helpfull pointers for predator hunting, add yours.

For daytime hunting, same as turkey hunting, i always remove my sling so it is not swinging making movement when a coyote shows up. Or gets stuck on clothing.

Park your vehicle far enough away from your hunting spot that it can not be seen by predators while on stand.

"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

The call is a tool...You don't have to walk in far to call predators to you.  The deeper you walk in on the first stand the more predator you will scare away....During icy conditions or crunch snow..Just park the car and get where it's legal to call..  Predators know there are no 200 pound field mice or cottontails..

a)60%+ of your success is in pre-season. Be prepared. Be ready when the bell sounds.
b) get permission for 2-3 times the territory you think you need
c) Be confident. It's a loooong season, keep your motivation up. You are top dog.

make sure your guns are sighted in and your lights are ready to go.   practice shooting at night or at least make sure you practice with the your lights and getting eyes in the scope of down the bead.

don't expect the coyote to come from a certain direction. as i learned from last nights experience of one coming behind us creating a hard shot which leads to a coyote running and laughing

Make sure you are 100% ready when you or your partners start to call. Remember they can be there in your lap on a dead run before you finish one calling one sequence.

Watch out for the Boogie man. He sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

If you use a folding seat when hunting, don't fall off of it or miss it when sitting down. I only say this because I have seen it done. :D
