Starting off Yote hunting

[greatwhite]

So I went out and purchased a caller for my son and I and I have a few options to go hunt Coyotes. But there in lies the problem. We have scouted for them in the past and found lot's of track but they are just all over the place crisscrossing the fields and back into the forth, how do we decide where to set up?

Not quite the same as deer hunting.

In a way it is..... If you are hunting field edges for deer, use the same technique just sit about 150-180 yds out from the bush..... You need to watch your wind and your movements, so not that much different than hunting deer......
Getting into the location undetected is the deal. The sound is secondary.... Make sure the wind is not blowing toward the bush. Take the extra minute to two to get comfortable in your setup so you limit your movement, then let the sound (usually a dying animal/rabbit is good) fly....
Good luck, the more you go, the more you learn

Varmint/Predator hunting is like Cocaine. After a couple of shots,you're hooked forever.

Easiest after a bit of snow to cover old tracks. Go around the whole concession, see how many fresh tracks going in and how many coming out. That'll give you an indication of how many, if any are likely to be in there. Then you just have to figure out where you think they're bedded so you can sneak into a set and call to wake them up.

They move during the day this time of year as well, driving around in the morning you can spot them. From there see if you can find a way to sneak in and a setup that'll work.

I'm likely going out Friday (unless things change) if you want to/can come out. We're running dogs though but the process of figuring out where they are is the same. Just instead of sneaking in and calling we send the dogs to wake them up.
