It’s weird, I hear them all the time but except an occasional trail cam pic, I haven’t seen one in probably 3 years while hunting.
They prolly smell ya. If wind ain’t right they ain’t strolling by in my experience. They smell you thru all the other scents. Not like a deer. IMO. They a predator. They smart.It’s weird, I hear them all the time but except an occasional trail cam pic, I haven’t seen one in probably 3 years while hunting.
If I have my cover sent they never smell me,. Had one come in down wind I could've spit on it.They prolly smell ya. If wind ain’t right they ain’t strolling by in my experience. They smell you thru all the other scents. Not like a deer. IMO. They a predator. They smart.
Now let’s not go to far, lol. I’d rather kill a booner than every yote in America.No I don't, I like calling them in, to me that's as good as killing a booner to have them come to the call.

I shot one on opening morning. Shot my buck that night- let him lay 2 hours and the freaking things chewed off a back ham before I got back to him with the Polaris. Unreal to me. Haven’t been back out but still have several showing up on cameras I’d like to remove.I was just curious how many guys shot a coyote, or more than one, during the modern gun season. My group killed 4, but saw way more than we'd like.
That’s true for sure they are elusive. However I did have a friend that caught 23 last year in foot holds so not as rare as hens teeth.I might not go quite that far but definitely close. Until a few years ago I would have thought that statement was crazy, but when I started trying to actively hunt and trap coyotes I gained a new respect for them. Shooting one that gives you a opportunity while deer hunting is one thing, but when you try to call them or set a trap for them to step in You learn just how smart and elusive them boogers really are.

For sure, I meant them being caught by trapping is not really rare for some. I’ve tried it last year for myself and so far only caught coons, opossums and several coon feet.Your friend has it figured out then. And no they are not rare, that’s the part that makes it that much more frustrating/rewarding. You know they are there in multitudes, but can’t even get a glimpse of one lol
