RE: Coyote Hunting Newbie please help???
Some of the best times is during the spring when deer have their fawns. Their out all year. Its a year round season here in Kentucky. I recommend the 22-250. When hunting them, make sure you are up wind of them. Make sure they the wind is blowing from you to the yote. Sounds crazy but it works. Their going to try and smell you anyways so its best just to set up this way and make it a little more easier. Try using a rabbit squealer, distrees call. You will probably call in a fox before you call in a yote. At least thats how it works for me. Try using a CD predator call from Cabelas. Make sure you have absolutely no smell to you whatsoever. Another thing is when I hunt on the ground, I usually hunt with a partner because they will come up behind you with out you knowing it. Yes I know you have a gun with you, but having a wild dog come up behind you thinking your a rabbit or something, kinda makes it a little scary. Youll see what I mean if you ever come to that situation. Make sure you are ready to shoot for they will show up at any given time with or with out notice. Watch out for them foxes too. They like to play games. They sit and watch, wait for you to hit the call again, then they try to pin point you. So keep your eyes wide open at all times and make sure you clean your ears out because hearing is another important thing. That slightest foot step they make, can make the difference if you are able to shoot them or not. Let us know how it goes or any more questions.
