Before you even think about going coyote hunting you will need to find a good location. If your trying to hunt somewhere that doesn’t even have coyotes around then your doomed from the get go. But don’t worry because finding coyotes isn’t to big of a problem because they are everywhere. Find a nice open field that borders the woods, a secluded area with little human activity around is a plus. Make sure you set up in the corner of the field about 60 to 100 yards away from the tree line.
Now that you have a spot, lets make sure that when they do come out that they don’t know your there. You will need to notice which way the wind is blowing and make sure you are down wind from the area that you suspect your varmints will be coming from. This is key because coyotes have a very good sense of smell and if it is blowing right towards them then your chances will become slightly to none. You will find out that the less a coyote knows your there, the more chances you will have at a successful hunt
Calling Coyotes. This is one of the most important parts. No matter if your using a mouth call or an electronic call you will need to try to make this sound as realistic as possible. One of the most common calls that you will need to use is a cottontail distress call. A few tips to do this is to generally make your calls very quite. You have to keep in mind that a coyote has great hearing, so something that may sound to quite to you is very noticeable to predators like this. I usually call for a good 45 seconds and listen to see if their is any action around me. Do not over use your call. An ideal time period between calling sessions is 15 minutes. Just remember your wanting to sound like real predator bait. Don’t get to fancy with this. Coyotes will also get curious even if your not making the ideal sound so keeping it slow and steady will give you your best results.

This is usually one of the main questions in hunting varmints. A few main tips when calling in coyotes is to not over use your call. When calling, you want to make the most realistic sounds of what your call is suppose to be. If you call to much or to loud then the coyote will know something is not right and usually won’t come in to your calling. Another thing is don’t call to loud. A real quite and soft call is generally better than someone blaring a call violently through out the woods. Coyotes have a very good sense of hearing, so a call that may not sound loud enough to you is heard very good by these creatures and makes the setting more realistic to them and betters your chances in having more action.

Most times people find it difficult to actually call in a coyote close enough to shoot. From my personal experience with an electronic call, I have had tons of times where I can call in at least two coyotes and know that they have came in very close but they sit in the woods and don’t come out for an open shot. You will need to make yourself unnoticed and make sure that your scent is covered very well. When your setting up check the wind direction and make sure that the area you have chosen does not blow your scent directly towards the area that the coyotes will be coming from. Coyotes have a very good smell. This is a main reason why people fail to have a good hunt because they do everything else right except the coyote knows your there by smelling you and when this happens you will not be very successful hunting these varmints.

The best times for coyote hunting are usually in the early morning and evening just like any other hunting. If your in to spotlighting, then right after dusk is a superb time to hunting coyotes. If you’ve ever been out in the country right before the sun goes down, you’ll notice this is the time the coyote activity picks up and you can often hear the coyotes start barking and howling at this time. Cold weather is another factor that comes in to play. When the weather starts getting cooler, this means that the coyotes are moving around more. A cold cloudy day is the best time to hunt these predators, and also is the best time to see action all day long especially if you are not calling or hunting around bait.
