[Hatchrooster]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.How Many people her coyote hunt?My buddy and I just started getting in to it this year.We have'nt got one called up to kill yet.What is the best light to us for them at night.we use spot lights with red lense's.Would a wheat light be better.

I heard the break of dawn was a good time to go.

Ssunrise or sunset is best. Unless you have night vision. Then around midnight.

We got some spot lights that have red lense's and it work's pretty good.But yeah it would be nice to have a night vision scope.

Coming up in the next week or so is mating season. A lot easier to call in. You will see more in the open just like deer rutting season.

Went out last night to break in a Jack in the box and an fx3. What kind of calling sequence do you recomend this time of year. We did not see/hear anything, but I think that is because it was so windy.

I have had absolutely zero luck on coyote hunting at night. I've used red-filtered lights and had coyotes howling and yipping upwind in the dark, but they wouldn't expose themselves. The only thing I've called in and taken at night is foxes.

On the other hand, I've taken many coyotes in the first couple of hours after dawn.

Night is the best time to go. Somewhere between 11pm and 1am, seems to be the most active time to hunt. Coyotes seem to be more relaxed and show themselves. Also they will cross an open fields at night, where as in the daytime, coyotes will stick to fence rows. At night you do not need decoys or full camo. Just where something dark like bluejeans. Also the darker the night the more relaxed they seem to be. Full moon nights tend to see alot less.

If I seen one of them every evenin I guess they would be having lead headed their way.

We had a pack come right up behind the house about 45 to 50yrds away on night about a month ago.They started yipping and woke me up and I got up and just cracked the door open and they shut right up.Don't know how they heard me but they did.
