coyote hunting tips for a new guy?
I am brand new to coyote hunting. Where I live there are not a lot of wide open spaces although there are a few. I didn’t want to go all out so I bought a Johnny stewart electronic call that has a few sounds. I did buy a mojo critter. I can only hunt days due to my work schedule. I have been a couple times but am having no luck. One more thing, would a ground blind help? Any tips would be appreciated. The coyotes here are devastating to our deer population.
Jake got started on the right track: use cover scents,know the wind and use it to your advantage,and control how the coyotes can approach-they normally want to hear,smell and see something as prey,so you can use at least 2 of those to your advantage with calls and a lure,not all places allow baiting so you need to find out. You need to separate the call from the shooter by a decent distance when possible so the coyote doesn’t see the shooter as it homes in on the noise/lure,somewhere around 50-60 yards is normally plenty.
Use terrain/local camo to your advantage-with wind direction you can help channel a response by keeping terrain behind you so a coyote can’t circle around to smell you,make sure you blend into the background. Many coyote hunters use a crosswind set up,so the coyotes tend to approach laterally instead of heads up,so you may research how to make coyote set-ups better,there are some articles in shooting/sport magazines and you might find some info online.
That is easy hang out at the garbage dump.

Always pee on your hands before hunting, it attracts small animals and sometimes the elderly. Never use a gun, only a bow and arrow constructed from the bones of Pope John Paul. And NEVER expose your face since coyotes that witness the killing will remember you.

Cover your scent and make sure to play the wind.
A ground blind is not necessary, but good camouflage helps.

camo and a blind will help. Practice, practice, practice. There are a few books on the subject that you should read. Yote hunting is my least successful because they are so spread out and like to hang near my house at night or near night when I can’t get out and hunt them.

Always wear camo clothing that blends in with the season. Look for spots that have high concentration of the coyote’s favorite prey, like rabbits, prairie dogs, or mice. If you search for these types of areas, your chances of finding coyotes will be pretty high !
