i'd like to find someone with a little experience to hunt with to kinda show me the ropes a little. especially on where to make stands and when to use what call.

I have been trying to hunt here and around the london corbin area. So far I have had no luck the only coyote I have seen was at mt. victory and he cam in to my calling but was very stealthy and took his time. I had been calling for about 30 min and lost intrest, when I got up he took of and I had no time for a shot.
I have been trying to round up a good spot in the somerset area and have a few prospects. The best advice I can give you is to find a farm or area that holds a few yotes. The best way I have found to do this is the howler. You can drive around howling from your vehicle or keep an ear open while you deer humt. The problem I have had with that is the coyote seem to be located in pockets and a lot of people are really reluctant to let you hunt on their land. If you do find any sighn or hear a few yotes they might be there that day but the next week or even that night they might move up to five miles. Alot of guys I have talked to laughed at me when I said this but IF there is nothing for them to eat in that area they will move on to a nother part of there area.
I am still learning about this and Would like to tell you more but I have to go so If you are interested tell me at Trambo308@hotmail.com

Where are you guys from ,i live in easy ky.and trying to start coyote hunting.

[scsims]

I'm with you guys. I've been out several times recenty, where I know there are yotes from the signs and I've seen them while deer hunting. But I've had no luck in calling them in. I thought I was going to get one yesterday, as soon finished my first sequence a bunch of doves flushed out of a thicket, but the wind was blowing in that direction and I was probably busted.

I have gotton good at calling in hawks though.

crowsniper, i'm from johnson county. i've tried several more times and still no luck, we were rabbit hunting the other day and heard some yelping when we got out of our vehicle but they were on a ridge and the only fields around were too thick to see anything i don't know how a person could set up there to kill them.

Trambo, your on the right track. It has nothing to do with food sources but does have something to do with the territorial nature of the coyote. They have several areas within their territory they bed in. They use what I call travel lanes to get from place to place when traveling to and from bedding and feeding areas.That territory may be as large as 3 wide by ten miles long. Thats a lot of ground to cover. And don't worry about getting permission to all the farms in an area. You only need a few selected ones for the travel lanes that connect the territory together.

Last year at http://www.predatormasters.com we wrote the book on coyote hunting. The thread is in the calling in the east forum there, it's called sounds and tactics, it's about 9 pages long and take s a couple of hours to read but well worth the time. Jimmie
