I've only shot at a few 'yotes when hunting something else, hit one with a deer slug once at 100 yds but after spinning around he dove through the fence into standing corn so I never found him...got another one "dancing" once when my arrow hit pretty close between his butt and his tail....
But I have ALWAYS wanted to hunt them...specifically.
This year in South Dakota one of my P-dog buddies bought calls and a video at Cabelas and was practicing with it, and we were thinking maybe we would try for coyotes someday besides P-dogs out there...
Of course, standing in the middle of the road with the truck running and the beeper going with the door open with two other guys in regular P-dog clothes laughing their heads off at him squeaking away probably was the reason we didn't see any...


But now I am back home, with a decent walking around rifle, and land to hunt with coyotes on it, I'm thinking I might try it here in Indiana...
And maybe we will get serious obout it next year in South Dakota...
But I know SQUAT about it....
Like do you use ground blinds? Camo? Hunt early morning? Night? Dusk?
What kind of calls should I buy?
And I know fur prices suck, but do you get anything for the pelts? Or can you sell the entire 'yote without skinning, since I have never skinned anything but many deer, rabbits and squirrels but without caring how GOOD the skin turned out, just to get it OFF....
Any help for a beginner, Zane, or anybody else?
