Daylight eastern coyote hunting

[AWS]

I'm home sick today. I decided to watch some daylight coyote hunting videos from the east, not much to choose from but if what I saw was typical I can see why it is hard to kill coyotes during the day.

If I hunted like they do out west, my numbers would go way down too. On all three videos I've never seen so much movement on a stand, scanning with a rifle, lifting up the remote to adjust it, whipping your head back and forth to see, reaching up and adjusting your face mask, flopping your hand running a mouth call like your trying to be the decoy also, constantly reaching up to change scope power or focus while he has coyotes in sight and they don't commit. One warm weather hunt the guy is waving mosquitoes/flies away from his face. All of this when your hunting tight pastures and croplands where you won't see a coyote until he steps out of the cover just a few hundred yards away. Even out here coyotes stop just inside the cover survey the area before venturing into the open if they've been pressured at all.

Tell me I watched three crappy videos. These were from PA and OH. There were plenty of videos from Kentucky so I assume they are more successful down there.

I think you have to remember that anyone can make a video and "claim" to know what they are doing.

Drives me crazy seeing all that movement. I get on my buddy at night for moving too much.

Heck Mike, I make videos all the time and have no idea what I'm doing!

Yeah, about like Patton knew nothing about war.

Try searching up Road95 coyote hunting on youtube, he has some good hunting videos here in Southern Ontario.
Here's a link to one of them....

I'm glad you noticed all the flaws that I see in the same videos. Coyotes are exposed to a lot more human activity, east of the Mississippi and learn quick how to avoid detection. I always hunt alone, because I have a hard time conveying to others how much they need to be motionless and quiet, while they're on stand. I mean from the time we get out of the vehicle to the time we return to it, "shut up, sit still and don't make any mechanical/metallic sounds", is very hard to reach people on any level. Don't slam the vehicle doors, stop snapping a magazine into place and then slamming the action closed and no talking once we're out of the vehicle.

I'm not out there to educate the coyotes. I'm out there to kill every one of them that I see within my range.
