I just got permission to hunt a large farm in my area and they have gaint coyotes. I have a shotgun buck shot and a old rabbit screech call from a uncle.
What advice and tips could I get from a few if you yote hunters?

My ¢2. Come to Utah and do it. $50 bounty per.

Hunting coyotes with a shotgun can be great fun, with the right set up. But they can sneak in quick. Sit back to back with a partner or have terrain that will direct them toward towards you from up wind.

Hooker is right. I've been much more successful when I hunt with a partner. I don't hunt with a shotgun, I use a rifle. But, somethings may apply.

A couple of other things that I've learned along the way:

Use you range finder BEFORE the action starts. Pre-range the path you think they'll be using as we'll as other points.

Hitting a running coyote is possible, but very tough at long range. If the spot you and take off, keep him in your cross hairs and follow him. If they feel safe they will often slow to a trot and even stop for a few seconds and look back before they take off again. I've killed a few during that pause.

If your using an electronic call, be ready to switch to "wounded coyote" because I've had quite a few stop in their tracks even if they've lost interest or bust me.

A good pair of binoculars is a must. Yotes have great senses, so seeing them from a distance before they get close allows you time to adjust and prepare before they are close enough to see/hear/smell.
you.

Coyotes learn quickly. Don't use the same call in the same stand too often or they will take off the minute they hear your call.

Thanks guys. I have a relative with a electronic caller that I'm going to see if I can use it
And now I need to find a partner. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What hours of the day do you seem to have the best luck getting them to come in?

I've had them come in at all hours, but I've found that at dawn and dusk they seem to respond more.

If you are in an area where you can night hunt, coyotes are really brave at night. You need the right equipment, though.

I can night hunt but I only have a super bright head lamp

Good advice there. I wish we could hunt them at night here--reason to get some night vision.

If I had that kinda money I would get a better gun!

We check NVG out from the local reserve base every now and then. Makes things fun.

You lucky devil dog!

NVG is a lot of fun!!!!

And I do understand the move up to a rifle but a shotgun can be very useful. Slug will do a job on a yote, not good for saving the pelt but they stink so bad that the pelt is useless to me.
