East Tennessee Coyote HELP

dmitchell28 · 10-11-2007, 06:58 PM

I live on a ranch here in east tennessee. Never been coyote hunting, never had a problem with them till this summer. All night long, my dogs bark bark bark bark, cause of coyotes in the neighbors fields and all around. I need some advice on taking these varmits out. Im a avid deer hunting and im sure I could put one or two or as many as it takes down, just have to figure out how and when. I went out and bought a small extreme dimensions predator call and i have the ole .270 and .300WSM. What else can i do. I cant trap them cause i have 6 dogs myself, and the neighbors have a few themselves. Give me some tips, ideas, or any advice on this problem, or is it as easy as it seems, just go set in the field and pick them off? appreciate the help!!!

they will respond to a call, setup is the key, set up where you can see them before they get downwind. they'll almost always circle when coming to a call.
Now is a good time, the young of the year have been dispersed and will respond to prey species and coyote vocalizations. avoid the challenge howl, unless your challenged first.

get a howler and practice, make a sound like your stepping on a young dogs foot, its a great call, about the only call you can use that makes doubles possible.

Pup in distress works a lot better.....

A .17cal works good on head shots and does not scare off the deer.
