Anyone have any tips / stories of coyote hunting in southern ontario. Im using a foxpro spitfire electronic call.
When is the best time of day to call them in (morning or evening)
What is the best type of call to use?
Looking for some help.
 
I use a cass creek electronic call, got it from canadian tire for 69 bucks and have had some success with the pup yips and fawn distress, and best luck in late afternoon early evening thats when they seem most active where I am however have I seen them in the morning as well, what part of southern ontario are you hunting?
 
i just wait till the tractorsand combines come out the tend to follow them looking for food to jump out(i use the same tactic as they do for rabbits too) i have had some luck with calls
 
Predator hunting is one of my favorites and yes I live in Southern Ontario. I've hunted them for years. The winter months are the best and the first light seems to be the best.

If you want more info please feel free to pm me, I won't post any of my opinions here on the board because I've been told on here that I dont know a thing about this type of hunting and don't need the bashes from others...

Bait them, I have used calls both digital and mouth and it could be me but I find it hit or miss. I know a couple groups of guys that run dogs with great success. Sometimes they wont even bring out the dogs because that can be a choree, they'll just start a line through the bush and drive them towards safe shooters in the fields beyond. A friend and my self pulled 3 seperate deer of the 401 last year tied them off and came back and set up just before sunrise, this resulted in 7 coyotes last year. I liked this method because if you were quiet enough you could watch them see how they interacted. There was one morning that 3 were eating and 1 sitting in the back bush waiting for her turn was facinating to watch the hierarchy play out.

Good luck

Dog hunting is great fun , but once you sit and have a coyote come running at full tilt at your caller and you have to rush and get set, stop the dog and take a good shot and then stay with it for a few minutes waiting on his partner and if that happens you do it all over again you'll be Hooked on Calling Coyotes.

I've done both and have to side with calling the yotes not the hounds lol

THAT attitude is the reason you get "bashes". You think we're so far beneath your level you won't even talk to us. Try giving some respect if you want respect.

Hey I do not intend to get into this once again. Theres no attitude from me, I commented that if one wants my opinion then if they PM me I will give the info that I only know that I use. I did not learn this from any Boards it was trial and error , right or wrong what I do is what I learned. Is it the only way "Not one bit" but its the only way I do it and I enjoy passing on what I know and have learned.

I have a great deal of respect for others but when I am singled out as I was back sometime ago by yourself and others ,I step back from posting my comments and will PM them if someone would like them. I'm not causing any problems, not bashing anyone, and do not put anyone down for the way they hunt.

I spend a great deal of time in the woods all over Canada and the USA as this is part of my living, but I dont push that to others, I keep it to myself. Everyone deals with things different and I'm one that would soon be quiet if my opinions and thoughts are not wanted. If you remember correctly ,Because of what you found and read I get stabbed, bashed, and trashed and seems there was no respect towards me now was there.

I'm sorry I can not change 20 years of my life so that people like yourself feel better. I'm not out to fight with anyone but I was clearly told back a while ago by yourself and your friends that I don't have the knowledge to be a successfull coyote hunter and I can live with that. Please do not harrass me for try to help new coyote hunters...
 
I have hunted with hounds and found this the most effect way in our area. We now push yotes on good weather tracking days and get as many as we did with dogs. I have tried calling and called in a couple yotes but found that there is to much farm, traffic and people noise in my area to be effective with calling.
 
I live in Southern Ontario too. Seems that pushing bush works well where I am at. Haven't heard of much success around here for calling them but I have never tried it. I do a lot of crow hunting and bait the crows. The coyotes like the same bait....I get the bait from the abattoir...........
 
years back I used to hang with a group that would have 5 to 6 dogs and they used a couple for track dogs to get the yote started and then when they got hot and crossed a concession rd they would toss out a fresh set of dogs on a track. If the chase was over they would change always giving the dogs a rest if possible...

the dog i got off you is excellent for finding fresh deer and rabbit tracks, so i assume she'd be good for yotes too. but, i was thinking a 40lb beagle (we think she's crossed with a walker hound?) and 70lb lab wouldn't be able to handle a yote if it turned to fight.


anyone in the brantford area (within a 45-60 min drive) run dogs? ideally, i'd like to follow along for a few drives (without a gun if you'd prefer) to see how this type of hunt works as i'm confident in the hound and calling yotes just isn't productive enough for me.
 
We ran with 6 to 8, running the hounds came first shooting a yote was last resort. You need good hounds ones that stay with a yote even in a deer yard. We had cold and hot trackers, long legged ones for deep snow and a couple that made sure the yote would keep running. A hound that ran coon or deer was not around long. Not cheap to run hounds.
 
We've ran with one hound before. Our best hound will run by himself and we usually only do it when we got a hot track going into a section and not coming out. Usually its either a big swamp and real thick bush. Takes a good hound to push out coyotes out of there because they love to back track and circle because its so thick. We man it off and get the yote then go find another track and let the other 3 hounds out on it until its lifted, then we let the best one out again after his rest.



We bought Garmin Astros for this year. Got 4 collars so I can't WAIT for snow now LOL.
