Beau is teaching a younger friend of ours how to call them in. They went out the other night and had six different groups call back to them, but none would come close enough to shoot.
That said, he’s a good coyote hunter - I DO own a coyote hat. ;)
It’s pretty much all they do in the winter months up here. As soon as there’s snow on the ground, they’re all at it; many of them are farmers, too.
What breed of dog do you use? We have Treeing Walker Coon Hounds and Plott Hounds. Two of our Plotts are pretty good coyote dogs, as well as bear dogs.
we have spoken a few times on here..I am the dogman who might take a nap or two night hunting. Dogs will cuddle up next to me when they circle back and is so lazy uses the same dog names over and over again. We run and tree the normal southern game and then decoy coyotes with kemmer stock mountain curs and ladner yellow blackmouth curs and have one very small and very tough jagdterrier. In california in the old days ran star mountain plott lines and jagdterriers. We getting ready to have our first bear hunt in our state. Lots of bear here but not legal to hunt or tree. But stuff happens. Like in cal when we were bear hunting, sometimes a mountain lion would show up in a tree. Now days a bear snapping their teeth and in a spotlight, a strange sight and sound at night. Leash the dogs and move off no harm no foul. Except i might have fouled my pants in fear, being old and lightly armed.
