Default Deep snow affecting coyotes?

Im here in central ohio and we have around 18" of snow so it'd be up to a coyotes chest and i am having a rough time walking in it. I was wanting to do some yote hunting but was wondering how it'd affect the coyotes wanting to come to the call? The snow is very deep but that also is making food hard to find im sure.

Try to find stands of pine trees. Coyote food sources will use the protection of the trees.

well they have to get food sometime so if they see the opportunity to find food and they are around you might just be able to call in a few

Ya, it is hurting them for sure around here, I'm in northeast ohio. In the last month I've seen 'yotes at our scrap pile in the daylight 3 times. i've never seen one there in my 20 years. But 3 times this last month. They are taking easy food, running our farm roads and trying to gather up whatever they can....

To hunt them right now, set up near thich stuff. Yotes and their food source are in the most protected stuff they can find right now.... also set up where there is easy access to you, they don't wanna fight hard, they want a nice clear cut or something to come up. Good Luck!

The eastern coyote, found throughout much of Ontario, is a hybrid between the smaller western coyote and the eastern wolf. Adult females weigh an average of 13 to 16 kilograms (kg), while adult males usually range between 16 to 18 kg. The size and weight of coyotes are often over-estimated because of their thick coats and bushy tails.

In protected areas coyotes can live eight to 12 years, but in areas where they are hunted, or in populated areas like southern Ontario where vehicle collisions are common, the average life expectancy is less than five years.

The coyote’s basic social unit is a mated pair, and coyote pairs will often mate for life. Coyotes are territorial and territories are generally exclusive of other breeding coyotes. Territory size can range from a few square kilometres where food is abundant to over a hundred where prey is very scarce.

The availability of food affects what coyotes eat, the size of their territory and populations, reproduction and survival rates. It also affects when pups leave their parents and how far they will travel to establish their own territories.

lol okay....!?!?!

They will be on the move. Just think they ve got to eat sometime. If im not mistaken a coyote needs to eat its body size pound for pound in one week in order to survive.

Default Naw, those coyotes are brilliant

They're in their saunas underground, just waiting for those fool deer to go and break their necks.

Yotes thrive in deep snow! Yotes run on top of it while their prey have to run thru it. Makes them easier to kill larger prey like deer because they can just run them to exhaustion. Pike
