Hello Cleatus,
This time of year is tough for coyote hunting in Indiana. If you have some open ground, not covered with corn and beans, you can still have some good success calling. I have my best luck calling at first light. I also have good luck at dusk, but not near as good as early mornings. If you're calling in the woods, find an area with 50 or 60 yards of visibility all around you. Tough to find such a place in the summer.
If you're equipped for night hunting you should be able to call around hay fields cut wheat fields, or short bean fields this time of year and still be able to spot and shoot any takers.
Be sure to set up keeping any incoming coyotes upwind, and watch for any that may attempt to circle downwind of your stand.
I had three call in's last month on 5 stands. Killed two and missed the third when it trotted off after getting my wind at 200 yards and I couldn't get it to stop. I was hunting soybean fields and could call as if it was still winter. The beans in all these fields are too tall to call now.
Good hunting.. Coyote 6974

I love it when people go out "coyote killing"- I'm still having a hard time hunting them!  I made a stand on Thursday night in central Indiana only to find there were a lot of kids with fireworks leftover from the rainy 4th holiday. I wish one had come in- would've been a funny video with giant explosions of colorful sulphur in the background! LOL! Too hot anyways... I'll probably wait until late August before I call again. |

No Sir. I sell them to a man who does vet care and keeps them for several weeks collecting urine, and then sells them out of State. If the animals have foot damage or show signs of being sick, they are put down and skinned.

Certainly better than having them going to waste or becoming someone else's problem. My apologies if I jumped to a conclusion a bit fast there. --hountzmj |

If I catch them by any leagal means I can do what ever I please with them by any leagal means.This is the control that the antis love & play off of statements with emotion & ignorance like that.

No problem at all, hountzmj. I can see where you may think that with the short post I made. It is something I did not know about until about two years ago, and all I wanted to do was shoot every coyote I saw. This is a pretty cool thing to be a part of and an incredible experience for mine and my brothers kids as we collect the animals.

No. Just during season. Sorry for the confusion. I sent you a PM.
I just read the ramblings on the trapping site we both visit. I had not been there for a while and did not realize the issue. Personally, I always thought the "Landowner permission" stipulation was for hunting only.
