Early morning has been best for me. But hunting them at night with lights on private land is the most exciting.

Default Temperture... Knows best...

I have had success during anytime of the day... All depends on Weather, and a few other variables...

1. Coyote Desity
2. Food Availability
3. Pressure
4... the most important YOU...

If you get busted going into your stand... I dont care what time we are calling them... They are gone... and a whole lot smarter...

I've been Bobcat hunting for the past three Saturdays and have ruined my hunt by having to shoot the yotes that come in from my calling.

I am no expert, but all of the coyotes I have ever seen have been mid-day, including the one I shot while deer hunting several years ago. Now I have not actually hunted them so maybe they are more prevelant at dusk or at night.

Have shot one in the morning while calling, three about 2 in the afternoon, and one at night. Have called in three at sundown but did not get shot opportunity. In the morning seems to be easiest for me. Then i can see them.

They are most active at night (in the dark).

Dusk and night are the best times in my area. I don't hunt with lights usually, but with a good scope, most clear nights with even half moon you can still pick up a good range... Full moons are easy pickings! Calling in morning and mid-day can be productive too, but it's usually more difficult. They are a lot more cautious in the light, and a lot less interested. They'll come up brazen and bold at night, but getting them to come into the open during daylight hours is much more difficult.
