Maybe there is a thread like this somewhere because I am new to the forums and may not have been able to find it. But I am in Virginia and looking to find new spots to predator hunt. I mainly night hunt. I Have all the right stuff and have been at it several years so I am not new to thermals or night hunting by any means. Killed 11 coyotes last year on 5 properties. Two of those properties I don’t even have permission on unless I’m with the person who does unfortunately. I know that’s nothing amazing. I am looking to increase numbers and time in the field this year! I thought about over the span of two days just knocking on doors, introducing myself and asking that way. I saw recently while someone was sitting in their deer stand emailed themselves the address of like five properties near where they were and went home and typed a letter mailed it at the post office to each property. They said out of every 20 he sent he may get one response. I’m not sure the coyotes are such a problem here that people would respond to mail with a phone call. Maybe the older generation. My dad is 74 and certainly isn’t getting on Facebook or a forum to seek out something like information on who could take care of a few coyotes on his property. Thoughts?? If just knock on doors what’s the best way to approach the conversation. I know people are nuts over their deer here and think that a night time coyote hunter could run off the deer. I wouldn’t tell them otherwise but I’ve watched too much deer behavior while I’m hunting to believe that’s true. On the couple occasions I’ve asked permission I do make it clear that I’m not looking to gain access for any other species.
