I just came back from my ranch in northern Mexico where a couple of friends and I were hunting coyotes. We had little luck since we only got 2 of them. My question is this: Temperature plays a role in coyotes being more or less active during the summer? We were at around 100 or 105F and sunny that day and we kill the two yotes around dusk when it started to get a little cooler.

Just for comparison a couple of months ago, we got 18 coyotes in a weekend between 3 hunters (the temperature was around 65F that weekend), population is not an issue since there is a lot of coyotes in the area and they dont get almost any hunting pressure. We also heard a lot of howling and barking at night but hunting with lights at night is prohibited in Mexico.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
