Coyote Calling

[Seeking_Coyotes]

I don't have much coyote hunting experience compared to alot of you guys on here cause there just aren't dogs near me.  However, with fox done and groundhogs and trout not here yet I went Saturday.  Can you experienced guys tell me your call sequence.  I am wondering if you have more luck with a lone howl or two or starting with prey distress calls.  I've heard guys say just howl and wait and others say switch off every five minutes, etc.  Educate me fellows...

Funny how I had to discipline myself to stay on stand for 30+ after being used to leaving after 10 minutes when fox hunting

I run my yoty stands for an hour call 5 mins, silent 10, call 5 silent 10. Repeat.   Its tough to say "this is the golden ticket" best way to learn though is just givin it a try. I'm not real big on coyote vocalizations so I'm not exactly the most educated person but I hope this helped.

Wow...I am surprised my brothers on here do not hunt yotes...

We all hunt coyotes but most of us don't live in coyote rich areas of the state.  Just because you are not getting a response doesn't mean the opposite.  Others, myself including don't feel comfortable giving a lot of coyote advise because I kill very very few of them and do not consider myself a coyote hunter.  There is no magic sequence from what I have seen.  Time of year and available prey determine a lot when it comes to sequence for me.  Stay away from dominant vocalizations because you are shooting yourself in the foot before you even get started.

I am to busy working day and night right now to hunt. I like to use female voculizations this time of year along with some distress sounds. If you are into thinning out a whole pack easy then use pup distress around the end of April/beginning of May. I have used fawn distress in June and July with excellent results but you will call in mad does with that sound. I have hunted very little this last month. Just have been to busy but if I went I would use the female inv. and if no response  do a distress.

Does anybody think my chances of daytime calling coyotes is good or should I stick to night?

[Lookn4Fur]

I think your chances are good right before dark or the first couple hours of light.

I agree with Lookn4fur.Don't give up on the night hunting though thats when they are more vocal.

Just want to give a big shout out to Uncle Buck...he sent me a lot of great tips to help me out.     He is a smart guy.

Lookn4fur is right about daytime calling. Nights can be fun, but the last two coyotes I shot were in the daytime. One right after daybreak...the other right before dark...its easier when you don't have to be shining a light. The one at daybreak was with coyote howls and the one right before dark rabbit distress. These were both late winter coyotes....I just don't get enough chances to get out there and kill em. I should say its just not high enough on my priority list right now.

This weekend called in four.  Three in the daylight and one at night.  Only one came in silent of the four and it was the night time solo coyote.  Both day and nights will produce.  I tend to get alittle more shooting in the daytime for what its worth.

I have yet to hear one in daylight,but I quess it happens.

Thanks for all the input fellows!  Friday was to windy.  I had hoped to get out last night after church but the recliner was just to comfy.  I plan to head out next weekend.  I think my problem is I don't have a spot where I know there are coyotes but I do know of two spots that I have heard folks have seen or trapped coyotes in years past.
