When Is The Best Time To Hunt Coyotes

Time of Year

Calling in the Fall: Fall is my favorite time of year to hunt. The weather is just right and coyotes are anxious to be called. Young pups are out on their own, and you’re likely to have more success with the “young dumb ones.” I typically stick with prey distress sounds this time of year.

Calling in the Winter: This is the time that most predator hunters target coyotes. The pelts are “furred up” and they are spending more time in the daylight hours hunting for food. The weather makes them more active in the daytime and food becomes scarce. I change my methods around hitting on the four instinctual areas mentioned earlier in the article: Curiosity, Hunger, Territorial, and Paternal instincts. They are getting called more, so they are wising up to any old rabbit in distress. Try something different, change it up and find success. February 15th is considered to be the peak of the breeding season.

Calling in the Spring: The coyotes are very territorial by now and are working on dens. Coyote vocals are the primary sounds used to call this time of year. They will come to prey distress, but it’s not as effective as using it in combination with coyote vocals. This type of hunting can be very rewarding. Howling in a coyote is a challenge, and takes a lot of practice to do it right. Be patient this time of year, we sit on stand longer if we know coyotes are in the area. No more than 30 minutes though, I rarely do that unless I’m working a coyote that I can hear.

86. Summer: Summer is usually time off for predator hunters, and that includes me. However many still enjoy getting out and hunting during these times of year. Most of the action is by using decoy dogs to attract a pair of coyotes. There are many different tactics used in summer hunting, I don’t really know because I’m gone fishing!

In all seriousness, I like to leave them be for a while. No need to kill a nursing female, you’ll kill the whole litter. Unless that’s your intention. I only hunt fawning areas, or when a rancher asks for help near their claves. I say let the coyotes alone for a short season to recover the population. I enjoy hunting coyotes and I want them around for a long time so I can enjoy it with my children and friends for a lifetime.
