Duration: 21:41

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of decoy dogs in spring and summer coyote hunting, leveraging their territorial aggression to lure them into range. Cal Taylor, a specialist since 1998, explains how this technique allows for multiple kills per stand by drawing coyote attention away from the hunter. The content also includes practical field applications like using a Sig Sauer KILO rangefinder and performing biological analysis on harvested coyotes to assess local populations.

Quick Summary

Decoy dogs are highly effective for spring and summer coyote hunting by exploiting their territorial nature and defensiveness of pups. They lure coyotes into range, allowing hunters to achieve multiple kills by drawing predator attention away from the shooting position.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do decoy dogs help in coyote hunting?

Decoy dogs are used to lure coyotes by triggering their territorial aggression, especially when defending pups in spring and summer. This draws the coyotes' attention away from the hidden hunter, allowing for better positioning and potential multiple kills.

What is the purpose of counting placental scars on coyotes?

Counting placental scars (cotyledons) on a harvested female coyote allows for the determination of how many pups she had in her most recent litter. This data is valuable for assessing local predator population health and reproductive success.

What rifle setup is shown for suppressed coyote hunting?

The video features a suppressed bolt-action rifle equipped with a high-quality Nightforce optic and a extendable bipod. This setup is ideal for accurate, long-range shots common in predator hunting scenarios.

When is the best time to hunt coyotes using decoy dogs?

Cal Taylor demonstrates success during both evening (7 PM) and early morning (5 AM) hunts. These crepuscular periods are often active times for coyotes, and the decoy dog strategy proves effective.
