Coyote hunting basics

[TheGDog]

3D Leafy suit. (Does A LOT for helping you not be seen, as long as you're good about being quite and still)
Mesh Facemask. (Gotta cover that Pink that sticks out like a sore thumb!)
Glasses or Safety glasses (with UV protection, helps hide your eyes, and helps keep flies/insects from wanting to mess around by your eyes.)
Gloves as well. (Gotta cover that Pink that sticks out like a sore thumb!).
Couple inexpensive handcalls (like a Primos 3rd Degree. for example)
Rifle w/ Varmint load of your choosing. Easy button might be .223 Rem + Hornady NTX 35gr

I’m assuming this is day hunting gear? Do you just post up in a field, do you scout?

You try to find a scene where you can imagine coyotes coming thru, and ya give it a try! Biggest thing is backing yourself up into a bush or scrub oak, so your outline is obscured. Remain in the shade, if you can.

Look with your eyes first!!!! If you feel you still need to look more in a direction... then turn your head very slowly towards that direction. Long as it's slow enough, even if they are there and looking at you, they likely won't spook. If it's slow enough.

Get you a Turkey seat Cushion with the straps for the back support. They get you nice and down low next to the ground where you want to be on the set.

Stuff that eCaller into a Juniper or Bush about chest height. Don't be sitting in the wind coming off the eCaller. Lately I've been strictly shotgun w/ HEVI-BISMUTH #2 or #4 Duck/Geese loads becaue that was all I could find locally, but they work! Shots have been 25-35yds tops.

If you're holding a handheld caller, like a Pocket Prey, ya gotta be ready to just let it go and lay it upon your lap the moment you see them almost upon you, so you can have your weapon at the ready.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!... but that optic BACK DOWN to LOWEST MAGNIFICATION on your Rifle!

EDIT: Anyplace you might happen to see Rabbits at during FirstLite? That's a good place. If you're driving in or driving out in the dark... and you come upon two rabbits fighting each other on the road? Great place to setup at. If you see lotta Ground Squirrels? Or pass thru a place and hear 'em squeeking at ya... Great place to setup at. In Nat'l forests that go up into Alpine... they seem to sorta stay near the roads and flatter areas. I imagine they patrol the roads for roadkill?
