Coyote hunting day or night

Day or not better? Wisconsin

I can't speak for WI, but in NC definately better at night.

First two stands in the morning and last two stands in the evening have been best for me in WI. I've never dedicated much time to night hunting.

Night

No experience in Wisconsin. But in Colorado on heavily hunted public lands, I've had better luck at night. Even on the private land I hunt where the ranchers sling lead at them, night calling has been more productive.

Night

Night allows for more mistakes. You can move around more, not be set up in the best location because the darkness helps cover you up

I like night. It takes alot of practice to get good, but I've killed way more predators at night than in the day. you can cover a ton of ground fast with a light looking for eyes

Night, find a friend/buddy with a thermal. Once you try out coyote hunting with a thermal you'll be hooked!

This will be my 9th year day sitting and my 2nd winter night hunting, early hunts and just before dusk have been my most successful for day scope hunts, night time I definitely have had more action. Groups of 3-4 compared to the occasional duo.

If night hunting, get a reputable thermal and tripod. I went through Pard, Armasight, Trijicon, and N-Vision before landing on Iray. It really is a buy and cry once. Same with tripods, I've been using a cheap innorell tripod for the last year and am just now looking at the QDT V2 due to mechanical failures this summer on the tripod base and horizontal locking mechanism. A lot of guys run 556, but I'd recommend 22 ARC or a nice bolt action, I've seen too many coyotes run off because someone couldn't get a great shot on a dog and they dissappear.

Night is better and more fun in Nebraska. The experience at night is just really cool. I had my gun mounted on a stand up tripod last winter with a yote coming in a Great Horned owl landed on the barrel of my rifle. The dam thing looked gigantic and scared the hell out of me. I didn't get the coyote it might have been the little girl scream I let out.

^^^THIS. You have no idea how many critters are out and about until you start scanning and something isn't 15 yards away just staring at you! That's a crazy encounter i definitely would've needed a new change of undies

Definitely like night hunts better here in Wisco! I do shoot more at night but still like calling during daylight.

That's an awesome color coyote! Mount or caped at all?

It was a yearling, so I tanned it. That was the 5th one one the same property. Still getting trail cam pics of more.

Our season just opened Saturday, first gray I've gotten.

Kill way more at night, see way more in the daylight. Both have advantages and disadvantages! Good mix of both can't hurt!

Definitely night. They get a lot of pressure around my neck of the woods and feel much safer coming out at night.
