Here is a little coyote hunting tip. When deer are pressured by hunters and impending winter they start their move to winter grounds. The coyotes will follow the deer herds as I have seen in my area of the west. This gives a smart coyote caller an advantage. Coyotes are always looking to take advantage of a situation to keep their bellies full. They are looking for gut piles from harvested deer as well as they are tracking down the wounder deer that have escaped the hunter who did not make the clean shot.
Remember that when the deer are on the move that there are the young fawns that will get separated from the mothers just long enough to make a nice afternoon snack for a coyote and this is where your patience can pay off. Using a deer bleating sound works very well in this situation. Using a crow or a magpie call is a good alternative as well. Think what the coyote would be wanting to hear. If its out chasing deer, how interesting is a distressed jack rabbit going to sound. Okay, but not great. Keep changing up the sounds and figure out what works is the key to success in coyote calling.
Coyotes numbers are to high in relationship to the deer herds so the balance is out of whack. So reducing the number of coyotes that feast upon the deer herds will give more deer a chance to make it through the winter season to repopulate the shrinking deer herd numbers. We have to do our part as conservationist. It is controlling coyote numbers, not exterminating them.
PS. Remeber that we are also the caretakers of the land. If you see bottles, cans or other trash then do the right thing and pick it up so we keep the land looking in tip top shape. It’s time to take responsibility for care of Mother Nature.
