[QUOTE="Waltech Jim, post: 346418, member: 3214"] Hi Kenny, I think you might actually have a very common situation. I am guessing your coyotes are probably totally nocturnal. Although I am getting too old to chase them like I used to, I still get out to the Dakotas and Montana for coyote hunting once in a while. In comparison, I am amazed at the change in the coyotes in Wisconsin and Minnesota. They are getting pressure from more and more hunters and dogs in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and in spite of all the pressure, just as you noted, there is no shortage of coyotes. The coyotes that survive the first year to reproduce are smart enough to stay away from any roads and trails where they can be spotted and shot at, or run with dogs. If a vehicle comes too close they will ghost out of the area while you are still several hundred yards away. They know they can not be out hunting during the daylight or they will be shot at or run. I can’t prove it, but (during the day) I believe they can resist even the most tempting dying rabbit. If you are going to try howling, I would use a mouth call, and spend as much time as you can listening to your local population at night. Howling is a very effective method if done correctly, but coyotes in different areas have somewhat different vocalization patterns, and to be effective you have to learn them and practice them. Coyote calling is getting tougher and tougher every year. If you are seeing tracks all over the place (like you said I believe), these tracks are from them moving at night. If you are expecting any consistent success, you’ll have to learn to hunt them at night. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
