I am pretty new to the predator hunting and was wondering what weather is the best to hunt coyote in, it’s supposed to be in the negatives tonight and wasn’t sure if it was worth it. What is the ideal weather/wind speed and what is the worst!
 
The colder it is the better i have done. A decent wind so you know where they will try and circle. When its blowing 25 plus it seems to get alot harder. I am hunting the open prairie of Sodak.

Im getting a thermal for my self for Christmas so getting excited to bust some yotes this winter
 
I have better success November till june. Mostly november to mid april. Cold snap and then a little warm up and they seem to be more active in my area. South east colorado area. If its cold or snow for more than a week!! Its almost a guarantee i will have one or two a week! Go find a sheep rancher that is lambing. Guaranteed success!
 
Weather matters and it doesn’t.

No wind sucks. A steady 5-7 mph is perfect. I love high wind for day hunting. Night hunting I don’t like it if it’s above 15 mph.

Usually when it’s cold it’s easy. Prey distress is your friend. And sometimes they just don’t respond. It can seem perfect and nothing.

I would try to hunt during good conditions. Cold, clear, mild wind, no moon.
