For a coyote hunter to be successful, he needs to learn a few techniques that are pretty common in coyote hunting. The time spent learning these techniques is well worth it. The coyote hunter thinks of himself as a bit differently than other hunters, and rightfully so. Coyotes are known as clever and sly. These are animals that are aware of their environment in a very intense way. Unlike a deer that simply tries to avoid predators and freezes for a moment when threatened, a coyote is a predator and used to hunting prey. So the coyote hunter has to outsmart the predator which can give a hunter a challenge and a feeling of satisfaction, as well as respect for the animal.
Coyote calling is one of the techniques that ever coyote hunter should take the time to learn. Coyotes are one of the most vocal animals on the planet. So learning the technique of coyote calling can make the difference between a successful or unsuccessful hunt. Just like other animals, coyotes have different calls for different situations. Males and females sound different and the calls have a different pitch and cadence to them when they’re used for different things. A certain type of call is used to alert others in the pack of danger, one call is a mating call and another call may be one male challenging the others in the pack or looking for another coyote. Sometimes the call can even vary from year to year.
While some calls are meant to mimic things like mating calls and location calls, distress calls are probably the most effective. This call isn’t a natural coyote call at all. It’s the sound of coyote’s prey might make as it’s frightened or dying. That attracts other coyotes who come looking for share of the meal. Depending on what the coyotes are hunting at the time, you’ll need to adjust that to match the sounds.
Another technique coyote hunters should learn is called baiting. Coyotes aren’t picky when it comes to food. And their willingness to eat almost anything can give a coyote hunter a definite advantage. Baiting is simply putting food out for the coyote to attract them. The bait which is usually some type of meat is placed in a relatively open area so that the coyote hunter can watch it and see if any coyotes come. It’s one way to determine there are even coyotes in the area worth waiting for.
Camouflage and unscented clothes are a necessity for the coyote hunter. You must remember that the coyote is a predator and it understands how to hunt. That makes coyote hunting one of the most challenging types of hunting. Just as the coyote understands how to catch up with the rabbit and corner it, it will understand when it’s being watched and cornered. That’s why learning different calls and proper baiting are so important. Using these techniques properly can make you a much more successful coyote hunter and not someone who’s disappointed on a trip.
