coyote hunting

[angrysoldier]

hey guys i just found where the mnr dumps road kill in my area. when me and the wife drove up to it ( off a logging road ) we almost ran over the yotes and crows. can anyone tell me what they have been using as call for yotes and crows? i plan on parking the car a few hundred meters from the sight and setting up my stand 100-200 meters from the nearest moose carcass. any tips would be great. the sight.

"...100-200 meters from the nearest moose carcass..." Check the legalities of being that close. Some places say 400 meters, I think it is, from a dump.
Full camouflage for either one of 'em and pay close attention to the wind for Wiley.

My tips are:
1) Full camo with face mask and gloves
2) Have the wind in your face or across your face
3) If possible have the sun behind you but don't silhouette yourself.
4) The hunt starts the moment you are driving down the road. Don't slam the door and whisper.
5) When traveling to your stand, be stealthy. I imagine myself being the prey and act accordingly.
6) Don't move, don't move don't move. Move your gun only when the coyote is moving.
7) Pay attention to your backstop.
8) Don't shoot across a roadway sine it is a public place.
9) Verify if your municipality or township has a no shooting bylaw for the area.

Good luck hunting

As I have only been out one time dog hunting I do not have any experience to share, but I can say I used a Mick Lacy predator call, and within 10min I had a yote running at me full speed. Was it luck, hungry dog, or the call, I have no idea, but it sure was fun. From reading many posts on this, I know a lot of guys also use the Primos Lil' dog call.

ive been using a hollowing rabbit call, it gets them close but where i am in nb the yotes are skittish. i think im going to pick up a mojo critter lure to keep thier attention away from me. ive seen lots of yotes where i hunt- mostly old logging roads south of fredericton, but as i said they are skittish and i cant seem to get them to stop long enough for me to get a nice shot.

If you're hunting over a roadkill don't use a call, just wait them out. They'll come to the sound of the crows and the smell of the carcass. The call will just confuse them and make them wary. If you have a Ki-Yi call ( a yelping, injured sound) use that immediately after you shoot a coyote. That might draw another in or stop a running one as they will want to see what is going on with their mate.

I think calls would hurt your chances as well. You want to sit downwind of the bait well hidden about 100-150 yards away and wait them out. I bet they visit right at dark but could come at any time.

Foxpro will be your best friend. Yotes don't respond well to the typical rabbit in distress stuff this time of the year. A magpie fight or crows fighting might be interesting enough to them to take a look. Also you will need a 12 gauge and some trap loads for the crows
