Frequently Asked Questions

What are effective calling strategies for hunting coyotes?

Effective coyote hunting involves using electronic callers with a variety of sounds. Start with subtle distress calls like rabbit sounds, and if no response, listen for coyote howls. Respond to a lone howl with a lone howl, and if they answer, use a group howl to encourage them to approach. Understanding wind direction is crucial for scent control.

How does wind direction impact coyote hunting?

Wind direction is critical in coyote hunting because coyotes will circle downwind to investigate calls and avoid detection. Hunters should position themselves so the wind carries their scent away from the coyotes' approach path. A northeast wind, for example, can place coyotes downwind of the hunter.

What ammunition is recommended for coyote hunting?

The Hornady 62-grain ELD-VT ammunition is specifically mentioned as effective for coyote hunting in this video. It's noted for its performance, delivering a strong impact without causing excessive damage or bloodshot, making it a preferred choice for ethical harvesting.

Can you hunt coyotes successfully during a full moon?

Yes, hunting coyotes during a full moon is viable. The video suggests that full moons do not deter coyotes from responding to calls and that hunters can effectively call them in under these conditions. The advice is to call on the full moon, not to call the coyotes themselves.
