TO be honest we shoot most of them by chance..so we thought we'd go ahead and try to call them..maybe this will be our undoing? I plan to use the Mp3's I got off of Varmint Al's website

we have been using the johnny stewart attractor and have been calling in a bunch of yote's just not getting a lot of shooting however we have managed to kill 2 so far. one was a small female and the other was one of the bigest male coyote's i have ever seen.

I have one hanging around the house and finally seen it today about 50 yards from the front porch in the bean field so I got the AR but grabbed the wrong mag that was loaded with M855 ball (my 2 legged varmint load) and actually knocked it down but it got up running and at least made it to the tree line.

 My son and I have been putting the hurts on them with snares.It has been far more effective than any rifle or calling has ever been.This is a pic. of a male and female.The female outweighed the males by 15 at least.These were 2 of 5 we caught on the same night off of the same farm.We have caught 9 off of this farm.Never in my widest dreams did I think snaring would be this effective.It flat works!These were some of my sons very first.He thought Dad was off his rocker when I told him one night out of the blue what we were going to do.Now,I walk on water!LOL! Should have seen his face when the truck found that first set of eyes!Priceless! |

Tar12,
How do you make a good snare set-up for a coyote? Will they work as equelly successful on fox? Also, are there concerns for catching non-target animals? I'm assuming these are deadly snares....no catch and release.
The coyotes we get around here are by chance while deer hunting. There is no shortage of them. Foxes are becoming as common as they've EVER been. No one traps anymore and it is showing up in the predator population.

Wilmsmeyer,There are different types of snares you can use.I have never killed a dog or caught a deer. I have caught 2 dogs,but they were released unharmed.One of them was not very grateful and I had my hands full with him!LOL!!I use a relaxing lock snare where the possibility of domestic dogs are a concern.Where this is not a problem I use what is called a dispatch snare,it shows no mercy,and I mean no mercy.Dogs caught in the relaxing type snare will stop struggling in a hurry and be patiently waiting when you arrive.I believe this to be due to the fact that they have been on a leash or chain at some point in time in their life.Yotes on the other hand, will sometimes go ballistic and will choke out.Some snaremen use these to capture the yotes alive to resell.I for one, want no survival.I want them dead when I arrive.I have no use for them and work on them very hard.If you would care to talk about snaring and learn some more about it,please feel free to email me and we can exchange numbers.I have a wealth of info to share.To much to put down here in type. Rick

Thanks Rick.
Sounds like you've got some experience and some heartfelt hatred for those yotes.
We don't like them either although I can honestly say that I don't think they've done much harm to game. In any event, they are numerous. Seen and heard all the time.
I have not checked regs here in NYS but snaring is probably not an option for me. Other then a few deer & turkeys they take, they do not affect me in terms of other "damages." I guess I'd hate to catch my best friends' Lab by accident. I'll keep shooting at them, and if the past is any indicator, that won't bode them well.

Wilmsmeyer, I have had them come in on us while deer hunting and try to claim our deer! NOT!You do not leave a deer lay here and walk back to your truck.That happened once,they were already eating dinner when I pulled up!My son put down a 150 class buck several weeks after this incident,in the process of tracking the deer(a mere 80 yds)They had winded that deer and almost beat us to it!Brave little buggers!I shot one before he made it out of range! That was the day I decided to start thinning them out.We have really put the hurts on them at this location.

Here in Arkansas hill country about everyone keeps a rifle close by and the coyotes never become much of a problem or dense. They do sometimes cross with dogs and the offspring we call coydogs. I killed one that was black with a white spot about baseball size on the chest. Otherwise it looked exactly like a normal coyote. To those of you that have never seen a coydog may think I am about a half bubble out of plumb. Actually I am but there are a good many coydogs around. I am curious to hear if they are elsewhere?  Just did some research: Coydogs are when the male is a Coyote. Dogotes are the opposite. |

When they first came back to Ohio some years ago I heard (but never saw) of coydogs but now that they are established I never hear of that anymore other than some get pretty heavy and large. A cross, I do not know?

i know a couple of guys around here that have had their coonhounds killed by yotes , one was in the spring after season was out and he had to watch them from about 70 yards cause he didn't have a gun with him . now those were male hounds and there was probably a female yote in heat maybe but i would like to thin them way down if i could.

I like to shoot the rascals and wouldn't mind if they were plentiful. But here the numbers stay down pretty low. Some people here use foxhounds to chase them for sport. Hunters try to position themselves where the coyote fleeing from the dogs can be seen and shot. Maybe that is one reason for their numbers being low. I have heard of no cat or dog killing by coyotes in this area.
