What time of day are you guys out in the woods hunting yotes? Is it like deer, where first/last light seems to work best, in general?
Skunked again this pm. Hit one spot and had to get home.
Getting skunked is the usual for new england predator hunting, I don't care how good you are. Can't kill them from the couch though.
Makes it that much better when it all works the way you planned it!
You seem to be correct for my coyote hunting so far. Went out to three spots this AM and went back to the spot with the most traffics (fresh snowfall) tonight without any success. Hunting with a partner, both sitting with an electric caller and decoy between us.
This might help to motivate youI am thinking of trying my hand at some coyote hunting, but likely wont be until next year. Seems like not many places to hunt around where I live (the cape) without being within rock throwing distance of someones house. I constantly see them walking through my back yard at night which drives me nuts.
Are you calling at night?
Yeah my friend and I both have FoxPro callers but are getting the hang of which calls to use and the duration to call for. There's definitely a learning curve.
Expect minimal success during daylight hours and increased success at night.

This is a trail cam pic, right in back of my house.
check out the new thread i just started on coyote hunting.
Any of you guys using the "varmint tipped" AE 223 rounds for putting coyote down? I have 20 boxes of this stuff and was thinking of sighting in my scoped AR with it

Joseph, Do your coyotes in Georgia hunt big game in packs as much as aggressively as they do up here? I've seen a pack attacking a 200 lb buck and know of a farmer that lost an adult cow to a pack of coyotes
I read that last night and I'm thinking how ballsy these bastards are. What pisses me off is how frequently they kill household pets.
It really makes you think again when you see those "Lost Cat" or "Missing Dog" flyers.
Temps above freezing means my baitcicles are pulling them in from miles around.
We shall see.
Dan-o, nice one. Details please. Firearm, cal, visibility, etc.
