Starting out
HI, I have been coyote hunting for about 4 to 5 months and nothing. I have the primos lil' dog and a few others. my gun is alittle big i have heard, 30-06. I have a 22 and a shotgun can ?"R use the shot gun. Rather not try right now with my bow. What tips can you give me and other gear I will need to be a bit more successful in this.
thanks Sam

Set-up down wind in cover near where trails come into water.
Pattern turkeys and use that as guideline.
If cattle in area visit during birthing periods.
#1) trails should have tracks and droppings.
#2) Shotgun with #2's or #4's full/turkey choke or rifle if possible.
#3) full camo head to toe (being still is the BEST camo - chairs help).
#4) use whatever decoys and calls you have (they eat everything).
#5) As a beginner call soft and spairingly.
#6) Use bino's from an elevated position
Watch at first, then get aggressive and change your set-up closer to where you have been seeing them.
Good luck and post some pictures.

i hunt for fur so the ought 6 is waaaaaaayy to big. but i dont judge. try a few of Johnny Stewart calls. there my favorite of the bunch. the best locations to hunt i think is a long field with fingers of woods and/or draws coming toa field or opening. a shotgun with 4 buck is one of my favorite combos. full choke. good luck
