Calling Yotes

[Ringneck Wrecker]

As a new coyote hunter, I have some questions for the veterans. When you using a distress call, how long should the series of calls be? 2-4 minutes and then be quiet for 5 minutes? What are the steps I need to take to get yotes to respond to my calls? I've killed a few coyotes just by seeing them on their feet, but I've yet to call one in. Thanks for your help.

This time of year, start out with some locator howls or a teritorial howl. After a few min. start your distress call.

I'm no pro, just read alot and watch ALOT of movies.

don't overcall!!!10-15sec.of calling. wait 5-10 min.call again.I stay on stand a full 45 min.I've killed enough yote's late into the set-up to make the extra time worth it.good luck:)

i read on here earlier of a guy that called in a fox with a howl but my thoughts were that was very rare

i guess it wouldnt be a problem if you only wanted coyotes, but what about fox/yote hunting, i have seen both in my area and would hate to scare off the fox while trying for coyote

would howling be too much to start off with then?? would i be better to start out with a distress in case there is a fox close, then go to a loud howl for yotes to come from a distance when i know there are no fox around??

I've heard of that a lot actually. I guess fox will respond to howl out of curiosity. Never seen it myself though......

I was watching one of Randy Anderson's Calling All Coyotes Videos when we were at the Seminar at Jay's and they actually called in two reds just from howling, so its not that rare.

Saturday the 27th my son and I went out coyote hunting. We didn't have any luck on the first farm we hunted, but the second one I was able to call one in. The area we was hunting was heavely wooded, but I could see down thru it about 75 yards or so. To make a long story short I had a yote come in at about 40 to 50 yards and I was waiting for a clear shot, I had stoped calling when I spoted him and I must have moved wrong or something, I don't know, but he took off out of there like he'd been shot out of a cannon. My question is-----Should I stay put and try to call the critter back or just move to another place ( tried to call him back, but he didn't want anything to do with that ) Thanks in advance for any input anybody can give.........Wayne
Oh, one other thing, he didn't get my sent, he was up wind.........

If the coyote took off that fast he sensed something he didn't like. If it was me I'd move on. I've been busted before and there is no way to "recall" the animal. If you ever want to try to call a spooked off coyote, use a pup distress call. I seen more than a few doubles taken after the first one was shot and then the second one came in or stuck around because of the distress call.

Last spring Turkey hunting, my wife called in a Coyote while yelping. It came running toward her decoys. By the time she figured out what it was, she moved and it was gone...lesson learned. Now she knows.
