At least coyote hunting doesn’t require as much red tape as some other species! Although I wouldn’t mind more regulations if it means preserving our wildlife.

25

True! But it’s always a good idea to stay informed about any updates in regulations. Can’t hurt to double-check!

When hunting coyotes at night, use a call to lure them in. A distress call works well, especially for younger coyotes. Make sure to use a variable volume to mimic realism.

27

I agree with you! I’ve found that a mix of howls and distress calls really catches their attention. It can take some patience, but it’s worth it!

28

Choosing the right hunting spots is key! Look for areas with signs of coyote activity, like tracks and scat. Near food sources like farmland or open plains can be very effective.

You might want to check out refurbished models. Many brands offer good warranties, and you can find some solid deals online that won’t empty your wallet.

Sometimes, I think you need some luck along with skill. I swear, every time I go out prepared, I forget something critical. Like my snacks… very crucial for long nights!

Haha, I’ve been there! It can be a real struggle. A coyote won’t care if you’re hungry, that’s for sure!

Overall, patience is vital. Coyotes can be unpredictable, and sometimes a quiet night is just what they need to come close. Stay alert!
