Seen alot of yotes today hunting! It must be breeding season. The group I hunted with got 6!

Lee do you trap them or shoot them? That seems like a lot of dogs. Do you make good money off of them?

[HunterLee]

Trap, snare, and shoot. That is for 4 of us, alot of calling and spot and stalk.

There isn't much money in them, i ship to NAFA

4 times out in the last 2 weeks and 16 total with the hounds. Ran a few more but some of the guys have to improve their shooting eyes!

What am I doing wrong i have yet to call a yote in!! I have called in a fox and someones dog.

Keep at it, you will call in a yote. A couple of things to help......make sure you have yotes in area you are calling, i like to call at first light in morning, if you are using hand calls get the medium size critter call - I have called in more yotes with this call then any other. If you call in one and shoot it keep calling....just last week i called in a female and shot her with the 12 gauge, kept calling and another came in and hung up at 70 yds. Last thing, I've been finding area's with heavy deer sign have been good as there are lots of beat down trails which make travel for predators easy.

Hope that helps!!

Thanks for the tid bit I bought a foxpro caller just last week. The one spot I have been hunting has tons of deer sign. For a gun I am using a 223 and it zeroed at 200 yards. I saw coyote sign as well tracks and a spot were one was digging. Maybe the full moon cycle will help me turn it around. I know if I keep trying I will get one but I have been trying all be it not to hard for the last 4 years but this year I am going atleast once or twice a week. I am going to try and set back from my call about 100 yards tomorrow. Thanks again certified jumbo

Good advice- I would adivse you that in your area its a early morning late afternoon thing, and great under the full moon. Coyote calling is tough. I can go a bunch of times in a row and not call any, and then all the sudden its the next 5 in a row.

Limit movement, start quiet and work up, call where there are coyotes, always watch the wind and beable to shoot down wind, hid the truck, and keep at it. Also your setup is the most important, don't get to close to them and make sure they can't see you sneak into a stand.

Not sure on your snow conditions, but deep fluffy is not good. We finally got some good hard stuff here and we went from seeing few to lots. Just wacked the 81st coyote of the year on Sat. Hope to kill a bunch under the full moon starting tommorow night.
