Just after daybreak on the coldest night. If a snow is in for few days that will definitely increase their need to eat.

Yeah predator hunting will get you addicted, it's a thrill feeling like you're the one being hunted. I second raymar's advice above about going after a snow. If it's still snowy, don't do what I once did and bring a janky call with you. Snow insulates sound very heavily, so you need a good call with strong wattage. When I went with my little ICOtec GC300, I didn't get any nibbles on my calls because it was too soft. In terms of great FOXPRO calls, My favorite best foxpro coyote call is the SHOCKWAVE but there are quite a few choices out there. Ben |

One little trick is to bait them for a week or three. Till they get used to a easy free meal.
The more of your human sent you leave behind when you re-bait the feeding area the better.
That way when you are out there they won't think twice about the smell.
Don't have to use a caller when you have the bait pile.

I was told to take 4 small square bales of hay and put them out where you can see them from a good shooting distance. Put them on the ground so there is an open area in the middle. Throw corn on the ground in the middle, then cover it with more hay. The 'yotes will sit on top of the bales waiting for a mouse. If you can put the bales where you can glass them from the truck, and have areas where you can put a bunch of them out, just drive around until you see one, then get out and stalk close enough for a shot.

I prefer to trap them. They are waiting on me when I get there. This year has been rather tough though. Seen a few and only got one. I spent most of the evening after work moving them across the road from my house tonight. Hopefully tomorrow night will be a good check. Never had any luck the first night.

Looks like you have a very high-end FoxPro unit. I'd go ahead and download the sounds from their site, and maybe download some sound sequences too. Rabbit distress, coyote in heat, coyote distress, coyote pup have all worked well for me. Ben |

My husband will tell you that volume control has a lot to do with it. Start out low and slow, then gradually amp up the sound if you aren't having any luck.
It's kind of like duck calling, if they are doing what you want them to do, don't be blasting the call at them and give away your position.

Most coyotes will make a smart old buck deer look like a dummy. They are paranoid, smart critters, very challenging, and a whole bunch of fun.
I'm no expert, but have killed quite a few. Shoot every one I get the chance to while deer hunting with bow or a firearm and have killed quite a few this way. Keep a rifle handy near my back door and have killed quite a few this way as well.
I hunt daylight only and for calling, extreme cold with some snow on the ground is best. You know they are going to be hungry. You have to anticipate where they are bedding, which is usually thick cover and call from downwind of the cover. can usually pull them across a field a couple hundred yards or more, and my experience has been they show up within about ten minutes, or they aren't going to. I wear whites, hunt alone, use a mouth blown call and shoot a scoped .222 rifle. Having a sapling, bipod, or something to get a rest on is critical.
I'm sure gimmicks like decoys and electronic calls work occasionally, but to me that is just more junk to carry and set up. You need to be mobile and have multiple properties to hunt. Call one farm for a few minutes, if nothing shows move at least a half mile. Calling in wrong conditions, over calling, missing shots, or over hunting will quickly educate your yotes and make them near impossible to kill.
Far more effective than calling is snaring or trapping. I have been most successful setting snares on travel routes. The biggest advantage to this method is that they are working 24/7, and you can have a whole bunch of sets out.
Can't tell you how many times I have had inexperienced friends say "we need to get out coyote hunting sometime". My thoughts are predator hunting is a not a very good "we" sport. You will be way more effective hunting alone, so you can limit, noise, scent, movement, etc.
