Advise for Deaf/Hard of Hearing Coyote Hunting tactics
Hey guys, most of the time I spent here lurking and reading some of the hunts you've done.
Even though having a 6 year hunting license without catching a break (seriously! I hadn't shot or killed anything with a shotgun, rifle or bow), mostly due to work, time, commitment and etc... Scouting is becoming a challenge with a 2 year old on days off.
I try to get out as much I can. I would like to bag a coyote at least once or more if possible. Before I got married I had the equipment for predator calls;
- Primos Dogg Catcher E-caller
- Primos Motion Predator Decoys - Sit'N Spin Crazy Critter
I went to Scugog Island Crown Land and I scouted there a week before; seeing fresh tracks and so on.
my setup and location.

I got there at 3pm (I know, too late or too early), did the set up and waited for 15 minutes and then started to make calls. Cottontail, baby jackrabbit, jackrabbit and then adult coyote calls. Interval at 1 minute apart. Then at some point I freaking heard on my right yipping.
In my head "where the hell is it?" I'm deaf on left side, and severe hearing impaired on my right. I can't distinguish direction or source of sounds at all. I'm thinking, "it can't be behind me, it would smell me."
Made a couple of calls and then the sound was gone. Its frustrating. My hunting partner is my dad which gets Saturday, Sundays off while I work for Bell as a Field Tech so I only get only Tue-Wed-Thur combo days off.
