Coyote hunting help

[bowhunter73]

Tomorrow I am going to try coyote hunting for basically the first time. The person I am going with knows about as much as I do. Just what we have seen on TV. He has a decoy/caller w/remote and I have a dyeing cottontail call. The land has a lot of coyotes on it this I know. It is grassy field and hard woods (oaks) along with swamp land. We have a ground blind and some stands set up on the land.

 Do any of you coyote hunters have any suggestions that could help out some newbie’s 

              Thanks

Should have been out there tonight with the full moon and nice weather
Back when i did hunt them I dreamed of days like today clear sky and all
just always remember to set up wind and look for runways like ditches and stuff

dont know if you'll get this in time....wind, camo, make them come to you ( expose themselves)have some obstacle in your favor.......a stream bank or ridge per say....call quiet first.......keep your calling sequence up for at least 15 minutes....then wait another 15.....give each set a good chance....two guys one riflews-one shotguns...you cant cover a 360 with two guys......but you can cover a wider shooting lane if you fan your field of view....be very still.....they can see..they can certainly hear....if you see one or two coming in....switch it to a mouse squeaker but dont over do it....good luck

I like to hunt early mornings for dogs. Most of the ones I have harvested have been before noon.
Scouting the day before for heavy used trails in swamps and field edges.

I just wear my white camo and use the bushes or other cover to break up my pattern.
Blinds, (for me) restrict my veiw and are just one more thing to lug around.

I use a locator call just before sunrise, they will (should) answer back.
Try to set up down wind, or better, if there is no wind.
Try to set your decoy out in the open to get a clean shot, and so they have a clear sight of it.
Using a mouth destress call at first to get their attention. But don't overuse your call. Once they are getting closer, I switch to the remote call that is close to the decoy to keep their attention on the decoy and not my position. Keep your calling with some time in between each sequence. I tone it down as they get closer, to say, like a squeeker call.

Sounds kinda easy, but takes a little practice to get used to.

And hunting a still full moon night......is a real whoot!
I have gotten a few that way, and have had my decoy get whacked by barn owls more than once!

Hope this helps........
