I know I have been on this forum reading and doing some posting, but I really would appreciate your all’s help.
Coyote hunting in the past has been hunt them a few years and then stop for few years etc. I have shot a few coyotes, but my passion is big whitetails with archery equipment. I have shot bears on film for the Outdoor Channel, spring turkeys and mule deer I am an avid bass fisherman and ice fisherman.
My skills as a big game hunter have not seemed to cross over to predator hunting. I believe my biggest challenge is acres of hunting land needed to be successful in order to kill a bunch of coyotes. Which is very different than trying to take 1 big deer or 1 big bear, etc. The numbers game has never been part of my hunting.
My gear list:
Remington 700 LTR
Swarovski Z3 3-10x42 with German #4 reticle
Fox Pro Shockwave (hand picked calls from Fox Pro, bunch of Randy Anderson and Tony Tebbe sounds added)
Fox Pro integrated Decoy
Setup:
I always play the wind in my face. I try to setup where I have the most visibility down wind and try to call coyotes that I believe are up wind or crosswind. I usually stay on stand 20-30 minutes, however, almost every coyote I have killed has responded in less than 5 minutes.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all,
Steve
