Coyote hunting?

(1/2) > >>

Burnsy87:
Where would be a good place to go?  A friend and I would like to just get away from Omaha from 4-5 and hunt Coyotes.

What all do we need to know?  Plan on grabbing an e-call as well.

Ronvandyn:
Honestly, I wouldnt mind doing a bit of that myself.  If you find out anything I'd appreciate hearing about it.

You might try to look up some guys who have cattle.  My dad lives a long way from where you're looking, but he absolutely despises coyotes especially during calving season.  He carries a rifle with him all the time while calving and plugs them whenever he sees them, since they like to hang around and eye the babies.  I don't know how it is close to Omaha, but in Northeast Nebraska they are thick with them - the last two years I've seen more coyotes up there than probably the previous 10 combined. You might be able to find a farmer who has a coyote problem and wants to thin them out.

Burnsy87:
Mis-typed in the original post.  Get away for 4-5 days, camping out would be pretty cool.

Good thinking on the cattle, not sure how I would go about finding people who would appreciate a smaller coyote population.

SemperFiGuy:
Some approaches that have worked for me:

>Find your hunting area of interest.   Go to the nearby small towns.   Stop at coffee shop, where all the pickups are parked.   [Be careful NOT to sit in chair of one of the "Regulars".]   Be nice.   Farmers will be there, talking about crop prices, weather, local events, dissing the Government.   Wait respectfully until the right moment.   Ask them.

>Go to farmhouse.   Be nice.   Knock on door.   [If Lady answers, she'll refer you to the Mister.]   Ask the Mister.   Be sure to socialize a bit, unless he's very busy.

>Get NE Game & Parks pamphlets, both public and private lands.   Lotsa places.   Gotta drive a bit.

And when you're ready to go, gimme a call.   Haven't gone after the Yodel Dogs for a while.   Right NOW is prime mating season.   Be sure to use the *****-in-Heat call on your coyote tooter; it's a Killer in mating season.

The yearlings are still just a bit stupid.   But not for long.
