~Hey Ya'll~
I got into coyotes last two years and still haven't killed a dog yet. I have called over 50 stands and the product being nothing. I know I don't suck that bad! But maybe its just hunting an over hunted area. No dogs is a good thing, but it gets ridiculous trying that many times and still not ever getting anything. Any "styles" or methods work better for anyone?

Stay out of Canada I will not. Killing a coyote is mearly a way of helping controll the population of the animals that we do kill for sport. And Why are you even on this site?!? I dont appreciate people like you coming here and making a big fuss over things you know nothing about. Come back when hunting is a tradition for you or something you enjoy. Give me one reason why I should stop hunting and stop and think, do you do anything that offends some one? Think before you go acting like a coward and shooting your big mouth off to ANY group of individuals that are doing what they love. Some opinions aren't welcome in certain places, and I dont think yours is welcome here, come back when you have some real imput.
Knowledgable, you ignorant, spineless sob. it doesn't take a smart man to know that this site is for hunters and those of us that very much so enjoy the outdoor experience. so why on gods good earth would you even come here to stir the pot. people like you make me glad that as a american citizen i still have the right to bear arms. and let me tell you something UNKNOWLEDGABLE, if i were to come across you someday i would definetly be bearing my foot in your as$! now, with that being said, i respect your opinions, just like i would expect you to respect my opinions but this site is not the right place for your tree hugging, whining and crying bullshit! and since we are on that subject lets get another thing straight, when you come up with a better line than,,,, blah, blah, i hope someday the animal learns to hunt me, man that line has been played out. get a new idea and while you are getting new things why don't you get a life while you are at it.
makes me laugh, this ignorant smuck is from canada, or at least he is trying to stand for canada, when canada just so happens to be full of hunters.
KILL THE COYOTE, KILL THE COYOTE, KILL ALL DOGGIES! how you like that one UNKNOWLEDGABLE! that would be a kick in the rear end if coyotes learned to hunt humans, maybe it would rid the world of idiots like you. until that day, i say one more time KILL THE COYOTE!
Hey just keep at it and you'll get lucky. Even an ol' BOHNTR like me gets lucky once in a while. #-o
2004 AZ Coyote:

I hunt Coyotes allot and have killed quite a few coyotes. The thing I can tell you is from my experience; this is hunting for the real Wiley Beast.
I think the most important things about Coyote hunting and calling is setup. The more setups you make the better, I remember one time I was on about my 5th setup of the day and I was getting hungry, so I drove my truck down inside a wash in the road where my truck was a little hidden and ate my lunch. It began to snow and I was thinking what would come out in this, only and idiot like me lol. But I was already out so why not try. I got out and walked about 200 yards from my truck in the blowing snow. The snow was about 2 feet in depth and was really quiet walking. I setup on the edge of some cedars and knew that just past them was an opening. I was using a tape for the first time so I was a bit unsure of what to expect. I turned it on not really ready to shoot or really expecting to see anything. Mistake one; all of a sudden I was staring into the face of a coyote, whoa! Well of course It seen me from 2 feet away and I blew it big, I watched it run behind a stump with the scope and expected it to come out from behind, no such luck.
Frustrated and exited all at the same time I turned the call off, sat they’re wondering what will go wrong next. Second mistake; sure enough here comes another coyote hot on that dead rabbits trail. It ran right past me, so I slowly turned and looked as it went by. It made it to my tracks in the snow and froze, one foot in the air right above my tracks! He then turned around and walked right past me again. He went out 50 yards and sat down. BOOOOOOM! My second Coyote! A pretty good male too!
As you can see, some things I did correct and some things I did just plain wrong.
The only real advise is don’t give up and it will happen. I use the wind, weather, camo, scent control, recorded calles, mouth calls, timing, but in the end the more stands I make the more I learn. The more I learn the more I call in. I have called in a couple of places that have not produced anything time after time and then all of a sudden 1 day, they show up. Get videos and watch them. Try different stands in differnt ways, pretty soon the combination sets in and here they come for that free lead meal. Hope this helps some.
Anyway keep it up and good luck.
Thanks for the advise! I am sure it will help out when I get out there again! Man oh man, this fresh snow sure looks good up my way! Oh, I am from Cedar City.
As for knowledgeable, the anti that enters a site he know's nothing about only to cause a ruckus; ignor him. He gets what he wants when he upsets you, he win's! He attacks us because he can't get anything done any other way. And he still hasn't got anything done; how many of you quit hunting and shooting sports because of him?[/quote]
By the way, I don't think that he is canadian, he has got to be French just like all those other spineless wimps.
After a day of learning the area, which by the way was very easy to get turned around. Without the use of a GPS I am sure we would have used a bunch more fuel.
It started out tough with an extremely hard cold wind the first day, with only 1 Coyote called in and killed. This poor coyote we did a favor. He had mange and scratched so hard that he scratched the skin off his hind leg down to the bone. Sure glad we were around to put him out of this misery. I had never encountered mange until this guy, even after 30 plus years of calling, this was the first one Weasel had seen.
The next day and night would prove to be pretty exciting with many Coyotes taken. We called and killed seven all together in about 4 hours of calling.
Weasel getting a camera lesson.
Who is that masked Man.
Travis with his killer howler and his son Travian.
Weasel with his TC kill.
More fun.
It's too darned early!
Who is cooking dinner!!
Fisrt kill of the trip, My missing streak had ended and 3 more were put down without a miss. I just needed a good crew to keep me calm.
Travis talked with the folks on the Reservation and welcomed us back anytime. Hope we helped just a little and I hope to get back and hunt soon.
We used all manner of calls, mine, the FoxPro and Travis's calls.
Thanks for sharing and telling us about the trip. Awesome.
What exactly is mange again?
A microscopic picture of the little beast.
It can infect Humans and all animals so if you ever encounter such an animal that is infected, steer clear. DO NOT TOUCH THE INFECTED ANIMAL!
Try and dispose of it in a safe manner so other animals won't get it.
