my favorite thing to hunt after furbearing season...is to use our dogs to decoy coyotes...gives me great pleasure to rid our local farms and ranches of coyotes
“is to use our dogs to decoy coyotes...”
You mean as bait? Wonder what they think.
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.
