Coyote hunting field notes, a few times a season

A few emails a season: what is working on stands, regulation changes worth knowing about, and gear that earned its place. No sharing your address, ever.

By Chad C. · Founder, Coyote Hunting 101

What’s working on stands, what broke, what earned its place in the truck, and any regulation change big enough that you’d want to know about it before you head out.

I’ve been calling coyotes since I was twelve and running this site since 2014. My best day was nine dogs. I’ve had more goose-egg days than I can count, and both numbers go in the emails, because a list that only reports the good days isn’t worth reading.

Why I ask for your state. The rules change state by state, and they change more often than people expect. Knowing where you hunt is what lets me tell you about a season change in Utah without mailing it to everybody in Ohio.

Your address stays here. I don’t sell it and I don’t share it, and there’s an unsubscribe link in every email.

Looking forward to helping our deer population. It’s been way down in the last 4 years, due to a couple of Ruff winters and coyote over population. Thank you for your tips.

Anytime you can drop a coyote. Your helping not only the deer population, but your helping the antelope population as well as other animal populations. I love it when you call in a coyote and he never leaves

How many times is too many times to hunt the same spot I have seen them every time they just won’t get in too shooting range but will come out an howl I shot one Thursday but seen 4 is hunting Tuesday too early

I wouldn’t go 5 times in a week, but we’ve killed coyotes in virtually the same spot on back to back days several times. Set up in a little different spot, play different sounds, and even go at different times of the day. We’ve called the same spot several hours apart on the same day and called dogs.

I am just getting into yote hunting and got a few different mouth calls. I have been thinking about getting an ecall but I don’t know if I want to drop the 150 to 200 bucks on the call I am looking at. What should I look for in an ecall or should I get an ecall for the first year in general?
