I posted this in the Varmint section by accidnet... Dang it!! i'm looking at going out near Wendover Nevada to do some coyote calling. Any suggestions on some good public land in that area? We would be able to drive some additional distance outside of Wendover. Let me know!!!

Thanks

also and FYI...everything you can think of in northern utah gets high high calling pressure. if you are new - be ready for the frustration...
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gifI agree with SLC Jeff Wyoming would be better. Nevada doesn’t have any coyotes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
{in my best Raymond Babbitt voice (Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man)} Definitely no coyotes in Nevada, Def-definitely no coyotes!

He's tried wyoming at least once... I know, I was there! We didn't kill anything but a few prairie dog that were unfortunate enough to venture out of the hole on a cold, cloudy day. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif But seriously, don't let that experience sour you on WY. We saw tracks, we saw scat, we saw lots of food sources, both alive and formerly alive, they're there... You just have to convince them to come in and be a little lucky. I really think all the speed goat hunters out where we were didn't help our cause. If at first you don't succeed...

There are spots out of Wendover as well. There are spots to hunt between there and Elko, north toward Grouse Creek, or south towards Ely. You just have to go and give it a try. There are no secret spots as far as I'm aware and unfortuneately the DWR doesn't plant coyotes like they do rainbows. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif There are plenty of places around Wendover that hold coyotes. Whether or not these same coyotes will come to your call is another story entirely. Depends on a number of factors, some of which we as hutners have no control over.
 
scattergunner - I agree. the coyote contest held in Elko produces some nice hunters with nice kills in 24 hours. I would stay away from that far top corner of utah and nevada (Grouse Creek) I have heard the pressure is bad there with little results- however - dont take my word on it, I might just really suck at hunting coyotes! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I have had some success out south of Wendover just north or Callao just below the reservation. Lots of dogs out there - just a lot of pressure. Kemmerer Wyoming - I know the dogs are there - have heard them and seen them - just not with my gun. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

LOL, I guess the three I shot 2 weeks ago were turned around? They might have been from wyoming and came over to try their luck on the tables....they crapped out!!!!

Either one is a great place.....but there aren't coyotes in either place...it sucks!!

Dang... if there are no coyotes in Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada I might have to adjust my schedule and go to Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas. Then again...might turn out to be zero's there too... Dang now someone's going to tell me that its like one of those fake bird hunts the scouts used to take me on at midnight. THERE ARE NO COYOTES IN THE US...IT IS ONE BIG CONSPIRACY THEORY!!! The movies we all watch are shot in Turkey and the Government's responsible for everything!!!

Man...i'm going to have to take up water polo now.

Yeah, don't go to Grouse Creek!!! Whatever you do, stay out of the Goose Creek Mountains as well!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif There aint no coyotes there, no way, no how! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif You know, I'm willing to bet that for every guy that says "don't go to such and such a place - I went there and I didn't see nothing!" There are at least three others that have had success in the same dang place. A possible exception to this theory might be the eastern 2/3 of Tooele County and Western Utah County. Thing is, a lot of folks around here tend to remain a lot less specific about where they had success, than places where they struck out.

Fisharner, stay away from the water polo. They make you wear skimpy little swim suits and funny hats. And it's all dudes! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

In all seriousness, I'm no coyote hunting expert. I've been at this a grand total of 4 years now. I can count the number of coyotes I've killed on one hand. But I've got to believe in coyote hunting, as well as all types of hunting and fishing I've done in my life, one man's trash can be another man's treasure when it comes to areas to hunt. I've taken animals in places where they were supposedly non-exsistent. I've also struck out in places where critters were allegedly climbing over each other to step in front of your gun or fish hook. Seems like there's just too many variables to say with absolute certainty that most places will or will not produce. I say, if there's sufficient indication that a place likely holds coyotes, and it's a fair ways off the beaten path, give it a try! What do you have to lose, besides time that you could be working or doing honey-do's?
 
I really enjoy PM and the vast amounts of information that is here to be had by all about every subject regarding predator hunting..................except the "where should I hunt" subject. When that question echos thru the forum all bets are off and your on your own.
Seems like all types of methods are used to keep you from hunting someone's "honey hole". Everything from telling you the exact spot in hopes you'll think it's a bluff (because who in there right mind would actually tell you the exact spot they hunt), to talking about "tons of pressure"(seems like everywhere in the country all of the sudden has "tons of pressure" when you ask if it's good hunting).
I'd say get out and do some scouting. If you hear, see, or find sign of coyotes, that is the place to start.
 
I appreciate the replies... Scattergunner you've seen me before... wouldn't those tight swimshorts work well? I would instantly increase the marketability of waterpolo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif

I hope i'm not coming across as someone looking for honey holes... i'm just asking for general areas. I don't mind the scouting bit.. but when it is a long drive and tons of gas (with high prices nobody is having fun)a general area is good so I can then scout about.

Either way... Waterpolo is seeming more and more attractive... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Are you sure of that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif You wouldn't be trying to mislead him would you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Fish- I have spent some time in the area around wendover. the terrain is much like utahs west desert. You can have success out there. You may want to try looking for the sheep herds that winter in that area, coyotes will be hanging around them for sure, but, from personal experience I recommend you give the herd guard dogs a wide birth (very large, and cranky.) There must be about 6-8 of them guarding the herds. Good luck, let us know how you do.
 
There are plenty of coyotes all around areas like cedar fort,faust,vernon,gold hill,callio,trout creek,ibapah,simpsons springs,you name in the west desert and they have coyotes,problem is for every coyote you see there's 10 hunters/callers and/or roadriders there to snipe them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gifAnd the sheep seem to pose more of a problem for calling than an answer. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gifOh, don't get me wrong you can call coyotes in these areas, you just have to change your typical tactics alittle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gifGOOD HUNTING C.O

i've been to wendover & have heard many coyote in distress calls, you might want to check near the rainbow, peppermill or the red garter casino parking lots.
