Hey guys! Long time gun enthusiast, but not an expert on hunting. I have gotten asked by some family friends to take care of some coyotes that have been causing some problems with their calfs. I guess I'm just looking for some tips. Heres what I have tried so far, with no success... I went out one evening and just sat in a pasture (eastern kansas prairie rolling hills kind of thing). About half hour before sunset I heard some coyotes calling to the south.
Decided I needed a call, so I went and bought a Foxpro Spitfire. Went out another evening in the direction I had heard them from the previous night. Didn't really know what kind of calls to give out, but I started with some distressed rabbits and with no luck did some coyote calls also with no luck. Packed up when it got dark, decided I should try the morning instead. I know they are in the area though, because a couple days before it rained and these must have been pretty fresh.
The morning that I tried, I walked in quietly while it was still dark and waited until it was light enough to get a shot thru the scope and started calling distressed rabbit. No luck nothing came. As I was getting ready to leave I heard them, but there are rolling hills in this pasture and could not see them, tried to sneak up on them but by the time I got to the top where I could see they stopped making noise so I assume they saw me. But I never saw them. So do you guys have any tips for me on what I can do to better my odds?
