New to yote hunting

[LeftyBuckmaster]

i just got a ruger 25-06 for christmas and was wanting to get into yote hunting and was wonder if the 100 gr remington corelokts would be ok or if there would be to much pelt damage
what rounds would be ok for the 25-06 for little pelt damage
Also was wondering what type of calls would be good
I have some that a farmer has on his hog/chicken farms and has given me permission to shoot what would i be better off calling them by the woods or up by the barns

The 25-06 with a 100 grain core lokt sounds pretty good to me. As far as calls, there are a ton of them on the market right now. The Randy Anderson series from Primos has a good line of calls. A hot dog and a Ki Yi should be good starter calls. The coyotes couldbe near the barns or they could be near th woods, it just depends where the food is at. If you know they are getting mice or attempting to get hogs/chickens, you could hunt near the barns. I think there is a tape i saw tonite at cableas that is pig in distress. Tape or CD players are pretty nice too. The guy i hunt with has one so i broke down and bought tonite. For a basic player with one speaker, its only about 140 dollars. I also have checked out the Predation Mini Caller from Western Rivers(i think) and can say its a piece of junk. The cass creek predator caller is much better if you go with a handheld electronic option.

The 25-06 will most likely have pelt damage no matter which round you use, BUT it will do the job, so use it!! As far as calls go, every call that is on the market will work, in the right hands. In other words, if you don't know what the call should sound like, you need to hear it first hand, so I'd suggest buying a predator hunting video first and listen, not so much what you should sound like, but more the candence of the sounds. You just need to make sure you sound "distressed".
Coyotes will be where you find them.. In other words, generally they will be hunting for food late evening through the night into the early morning, and then they will lay up for the better part of the afternoon. Now, all bets are off when it is cold or very cold, then they need to eat more and eat more often. SO, early morning or late afternoon, you should try to call them in areas that they likely frequent for food. In the afternoon, you need to call them from thier bedding areas.
Calling them in is the easy part, killing them is the hard part!
Good Luck!
