Is Hunting Coyotes During Daylight Worth It?

Yes. We have done it many, many times successfully. 

#1 tip is to watch your downwind. 

Brush up on your calling, or pick up an electronic caller. Sometimes challenge barks, and howls will work better than a distress call. Or use a combination of both. Ton of good video's out there on this.

Set up where there are lots of fresh tracks in the area. Want to be sure there are a good number of them where you set up.

Be patient!! Sometimes it takes awhile for them to commit. If after forty five minutes or an hour you get nothing, move to the next set up.

Good luck! Have fun!

Absolutely, I kill all my coyote in daylight. Have no desire to hunt at night and have enough success during the day to not have to consider it.

Are they "by chance" kills while hunting other critters or targeted kills? Tactics?

Thanks for the replies.

Still have those calls on the old phone, used them a few times just to see if they would work. Back in October I got some answers up at the cabin, and down here had replies a couple times when I used that phone as I was packing up after a morning deer hunt.

 

I was more or less curious of they would leave the den during the day if trying to call them in. Seems like it's a pretty viable option as some of you guys have had success.

Ive called them in while hunting turkeys multiple times.  Never had any luck actually during yote season though other than targets of oppurtunity during deer season.

Coyotes are a forever target when hunting. My crew did not see one this year which is odd. But then again, we didn’t see much deer activity as well.

The team from Downwind Outdoors used to post their coyote hunting videos on the old site. Love their videos, as they are in NY and I think they mainly (/only?) call and hunt coyotes during the day. Inspiring to say the least! These dudes know what they're doing and make it look easy! :default_unsure: Here is the link to their videos. Coyote Hunting Videos | DownWind Outdoors

Theyve broken up as a team, A couple members still day call but theyve also switched to using thermals and night hunting. I chat with one of the fellers on occassion. He also went through a journey with cancer which set them back.. Not sure you ll se much of them anymore. They did have more content to publish but life got in the way.

Been out a few times now, couple hours at a rip. Nodda. I think I have to take the advice of @LET EM GROWand pick up a few hand calls as the phone doesn't seem to be working.

Hand calls, and try to put yourself where they are and want to be. Hand calls get tough for me as I'm out of breathe after hitting on them for a bit. lol

Ahhh, man! That's too bad!! Really liked their videos. Their daytime hunts made me feel like I actually had a chance... :default_unsure:
