    Thinking about getting one of these.  See them quite a bit. What caliber and pellets do you use?  Get my kids into it when tgey get a little older. 

    I use a 22 caliber cause its much quieter than the 177 caliber. The first pic of pellets with a bb in the end are the ones i have been using. I just found the plastic tipped ones that im about to sight in with. 1514405704505.jpeg1514405725371.jpeg

    I went Out this morning.   Tried a bunch of different calls but nothing pulled anything in.   Visibility was very low due to 3” of snow on branches.   On the bright side their was dog tracks absolutely all over.   Mainly single tracks, no groups.   Apparently being out after the snow stopped last night would have been Great.  

    I did 2 sets this morning tracks every where but nothing came in.

    I am planning to go out for my first set ever Sunday morning.    The wife will be picking her sister up at the airport with the kids so it should be the perfect time for me to hunt.  We shall see how this goes.   Any tips are welcomed.   

    Good luck! What are you using for calls? Type of area your hunting? Decoy?

    Had an awesome first hunt last night. Got out of the truck and they were singing about 1/4 mile away.. headed to my spot and had an alpha howl within 100. Setup quick in a spot I didn't love, but didn't want to blow him out. Ended up having two dogs make a giant circle around me (wind was swirling) they barked a few times then came behind me through the woods and came out in the cut corn. Unfortunately I didn't have a great shot so I decided to hold off instead of educate. I'll give em a couple days rest and hunt another location a few hundred yards away.

    Nothing like headed to a stand at night and have that big ole song dog howling close.

    very cool!  Im hoping to get out tonight for the first sets of the year

    I usually start 3 or 4 hours before sundown. When a coyote gets up for the evening he or she will eat there biggest meal of the day within a half hour of rising for the evening.

    I usually don’t hunt blind. I will take a ride in the evening with my howler and locate a few coyotes. The next afternoon I will setup on these locations and start to call. I want to be the first thing that the coyote hears when she gets up for the evening. Works really well. Always face down wind and use a decoy.

    yes always downwind and i always use a decoy when daytime hunting.  I will have to try locating them the afternoon before then go back the next day.  good tip

    Coyotes can be killed at anytime of the day... I stick with night time as I feel I'm more likely to cross paths with a naturally nocturnal animal. Once the temps drop and snow conditions change I will do some early mornings and even some afternoon hunts. If a yote can't fill his belly at night and it's cold, they will need to hunt the afternoon. Also, they typically aren't in a den and they are bedded in earshot of a call. Sometimes you can just be at the right place at the right time and score one at high noon. I am Def not an expert hunter, trust me but I have spent alot of time after em. If you like forums check out bark at the moon. Great group and always willing to help. There are some guys on there that put down unreal numbers. I believe there is a 2 man crew on there way to the 100 mark for this year...

    yeah im alreadey on bark at the moon forum have been for a few years now.    I agree when daytime temps are single or barely double digits mid day is the best at least thats been my experience.

    I use the premo alpha dog caller. I have my best luck hunting I the evening. My best calls are fawn I distress, Fox in distress, turkey putting, rabbit in distress and cat in distress. I usually setup looking down wind, I’ve never had one come in with the wind. I also use a decoy. I set it up as high as I can get it so it’s easier for them to spot. Mines a mechanical rabbit. I’ve set it on fence posts 4 feet off the ground and had yotes run in like there on a string when they see it. My weapon of choice is a tack driving 22-250. And a 12 gauge 3 - 1/2” with # 4 shot and an extra full choke tube.
    Good hunting fellas hope we all get a few.

    Merry Christmas all.

    how early in the afternoon do you hunt?  I have never had a coyote come in before dark when hunting the afternoons.  Ive shot a few fox before dark but never a yote

     What kind of lights do you guys recommend for night hunting ?   Scope mounted red or green ?   

    I use a iprotect green light mounted to my barrel not my scope. I dont mount it to my scope cause the gun wont fit in my case that way. I use a wicked head lamp in red for scanning. Once i pick up eyes then i switch to my green kill light. When i use my shotgun i only use my red scanning light cause its hands free
