Ok does anyone have links or sites that have information on these dogs, after hunting this weekend I saw an abundence of yote tracks/skat... I picked myself up a hand held yote caller (figured it will do the trick). Sat in a nice spot for about 4 hrs at then end of a long trail where I found fresh tracks, dident get anything tho...

Do these dogs prefer hunting in open areas or dence bush, is it best to call them into a clearing? and info would be great....

thanks...
 
Do a search for a guy named TodBartell.

His motto is "if I can't dazzle you with brilliance I'll baffle you with B.S."!

Naw, on a serious note he is a very good song dog hunter and can give you alot of tips.;)
 
280 Ackley and I were talking the other day about coyote calling. we both agreed simple is better. get into good coyote area, keep the wind in your favor, do a couple long drawn out howls, wait a few minutes, then go to a distress call, like rabbit, fawn, or pup distress. Call for 30 seconds and go silent for 3-5 minutes and repeat. Be patient and dont give up if you dont call one in, they dont come in every time! :)

Im really not much of a pro, but I like getting out and huntin them in the winter
 
What kind of caller did you buy?

It is usually best to try and call them out into a clearing, or at least on the edge of it. They are masters of hiding, and even in an open field they can suddenly seem to appear like magic. With too much natural cover around you can call them in without ever seeing them.

Most yote hunters have experienced finding fresh yote prints on their tracks when heading back to the truck after calling. The coyotes have snuck in, busted you, and snuck out without ever revealing themselves.

Todbartel just simplifies the process by calling them out into a huge field and seeing them, then missing most of his shots at them. ;) :p

j/k tod has lot's of help to offer.
 
Where in eastern Ontario are you located? I am near Kingston, work there but I live in the boonies.

The best advice for calling coyotes that I can give, is to make sure you see your downwind side. I have never called a coyote that didn't try to get downwind of me. I like using fence lines between two fields, or corners where fencelines meet, something like that. It gives me good visability in all directions, and it gives me good cover for the approach and retreat from my calling stand. Your 30-06 will drop them song dogs real good, I used to use the 125 grain Speer TNT out of my 308 and whacked a dog or too. A bit messy, but still dead.

Good luck!
