I'll profess, I've not done much hunting in my time. Never Coyote. I've killed a lot of targets though.
Anywho I have a hunt planned next week in NE Mississippi. Myself and my 12 year old son. I've been working in the area the last few months and a kind fellow has offered to let me hunt his and some family land for coyotes. Approximately 400 acres in total. The land owners say they hear and see Coyotes all the time.
Gear we've got. Good camo, scent blocker, Foxpro electronic caller and a descent set of binoculars. I'll be hunting with a Remmy 700 BDL in 22-250 with a 6.5 X 20 Leupold, my son a CZ 527 American in 22 Hornet and a 3 X 9 Leupold.
General plan is to not disturb the area much, find some back cover with the wind in the face and put the call in open fields. Call a bit and move on if nothing appears. Scouting for sign and dens as we go and possibly fall back to these later in the week if we don't call many in.
What are the best times to hunt? Thinking early morning and late evening. I've been watching some shows. They usually stop the yotes with a mouth call, which I don't have. Any other way to do stop them if they are charging in?
