ive killed coyote before, but in the area i want to hunt, they wont show themselves. ive heard them and found tracks, but cant find THEM. what do i need to do? i usually only night hunt this area. i also have a game camera set up. anyone have any tips for that???i wanna at least get a pic. even a fox would work. i just need trail camera and night hunting tips for predators. i live in south central ohio if that help any.

Hey slayer, have you ever called the coyotes?

Get some road kill carcasses and put them in front of the camera. They will come in. I have done it before and gotten pix in the areas I hunt.

What about doing something similar with road kill or other small game ive killed except hunting over it, i mean, is that effective.

yeah i would try that...... but im 14.... what about animals that ive killed? will that work?

Waiting at road kill, or any other carcass is a crap shoot at best. Most likely the predators will come to the carcass at night, and if it's not a large carcass, they will have it cleaned up in one night, or two at the most.
Getting pics. of them with a trail cam. will varfiy for you what time they are coming to the carcass.

If you want action at the drop of a hat, learn to use a predator call and bring them to you when you are ready. Much more effective than sitting at a dead animal carcass and waiting for something that may or may not come while the sun is up.
