And I’ve found that either calling these areas at first light or at night are about the only viable option. As well as smaller or lesser areas to hunt and the areas you can hunt are more apt to be crawling with people from sunup till sun down. I’ve hunted close to more populated areas and can tell you that calling is tough, the coyotes tend to be skittish or skeptical of calls in minutes, and I think it has a lot to do with the high civilized population. There’s no new sounds out there that may put them in distress or keep them pushed back. I like to use the mouth call then because I think the coyotes are more relaxed at this time of day because they’ve been undisturbed and are in natural coyote mode. One would think a coyote you see in broad daylight just can’t be called while your truck is visible but I beg to differ, I have many times seen coyotes during the season out in a field doing what they do and just pull over grab the rifle and a call and get into the field and start throwing puppy whines and howl at them and bingo, ol’wiley turns around and starts trottin’ in, once he’s within range the shows over with one shot and he gets a ride to the fur shed.Īnother reason that early mornings are a great time to call is because the busy world around a coyote like the farmers and suburbanites has been quite most of the night, so things are pretty settled. 243 on a steady rest, many have tried and some succeeded but for the most part they just can’t. And many of those times I was able to kill them because they just can’t out run a. I can’t count the times when out checking my coyote trapline that I’ve seen coyotes out in fields hunting or just passing through. The thermals are rising helping with scent control, etc. The prey species that coyotes depend on for calories like deer, pups and sheep, are also more active during this time of the day. The coyote population is still out hunting and very active in the morning. Generally I’ve found mornings to be the best time as all around time to call. And the answer is complex in a sense because there are a few variables for the caller to consider. I think the biggest question is the when, like time of day. Pay no attention to it and just stay on course, they know nothing of what they speak. They don’t realize that the paranoia subsides once you start connecting with coyotes, but then you gotta deal with the whisperings of obsessive compulsive disorders or some such yammering in the background. And the only cure is to send anyone of them off to the great beyond before your wife has you committed and medicated by doctors orders. For most coyote hunter’s we tend to develop a certain degree of paranoia when it comes to these animals, and it’s not our fault, the coyote is skilled at putting us in distress. I’m going to attempt to break it down so that a guy can better look at his own area and apply the parts of that breakdown to his individual needs. Although that may be the case for most coyote hunting addicts, there are certain times that are better than others for these predator calls. Seems the million dollar question when it comes to calling coyotes is “When is the Best time to Call Coyotes?” And the answer everyone has heard a million times over is “anytime you can”.
