Me and my dad are thinking of doing some coyote hunting this winter after deer season is over, we are just starting right out right now, so what kind of things do we need to get into it? I'm pretty sure our deer rifles will work, we both shoot 270's

RE: Coyote Hunting

You've probably got just about everything you will need. Camo, rifle, place to hunt, etc. If you've never done it before, I'd highly suggest getting a predator calling video, or two, and watch and listen to how it's done. Then all you will needare some calls. Lots and lots of hand calls on the market, start with a simple rabbit distress, or two, probably enclosed reed, and try to call some in. IF you and your dad have more money to throw at the project, look into buying one of the better Ecallers that are available. Then all you gotta do is hit the button and let the caller do the calling for you. The Ecaller doesn't garauntee success, BUT if you don't know what sounds to make to bring them in, it shortens the learning curve.

Everything he said and you could also look at the decoys both battery operated and just a plain old decoy that just sits there and looks pretty. The battery operated are nice because the movements they make keep a coyotes eyes off your position. The mojo critter is a nice one for around $40.00 in cabelas. It increases your chances and adds life to your set up.

Becareful... or you will be become addicted to predator hunting. It is hard to explain butonce you get that first animal to respond... the addrenalin rush you are hooked. Have fun.

RE: Coyote Hunting

I guess while people are asking questions I'll chip in...is there certain spots that are better for hunting yote than others? Where do most people set up?

RE: Coyote Hunting

Look for places that you would think that they might be hiding in or even have a den. Then find a place close to that where you will have good cover and at the same time allow them to have decent cover while approaching you.
