anyone specifically targeting yotes in October?

[Caeden4]

i know everyone's hyped for the early bow deer opener tomorrow, but season opens for coyotes tomorrow too. I've been starting to hear em at night by me the last 2 weeks. Anyone planning to go after them in Oct?

Just a target of opportunity for me. It's been a couple years since I've gotten one though.

I'm planning to take my fawn and rabbit distress calls while out for deer this weekend. I'd take a bear or coyote. Which brings me to the question, can a bear or coyote tell that the call is coming from 20 feet up in a tree? I've called in yotes while turkey hunting with a hen yelp, but are folks able to call them in from a tree stand? You see some deer hunters bounce rattle bags on the ground with a rope from up in a tree to ensure bucks hear the sound coming from below...

good question... ive never tried calling either from a tree, but i definitely call them in by accident while turkey hunting on the ground. 

The terrain where i hunt is all hills though, so -at least from a bit of a distance- i would guess that they wouldnt think twice about the sound coming from above them but would probably assume its just further up the hill than it really was.

Absolutley! Probably Tomorrow night will be stand 1

I've squeaked in yotes while in a ladder stands.  Usually I'll wait until they are 60+ yards out before I call, and a lot of times they will walk straight at ya.  I've had them turn and run away to.

i am way too swamped with work and family stuff this week to get out after anything, and have to spend next weekend out of state to meet my newest neice. i'll be living vicariously through everyone on here lol

Me and my dad hunt coyotes pretty regularly. Might go out for tomorrow night for a local place. We hunt at night, I have a night vision, my dad has a thermal and a thermal scanner that is in the repair shop right now. But we love hunting them, they are very smart ( most of em) and fun to get going at night. I can’t wait to hear them going off again at our caller.

I went night hog hunting a couple of years back and we used pulsars. They’re awesome. It’s a toy I want but I just can’t justify the purchase.

You aint kidding there.  We’ve seen a ton of inflation the last 3.8 years, which has made lots of unnecessary stuff unaffordable.  Many are struggling just to put groceries on the table.

It isn’t inflation that’s holding me back. Rather, just trying to follow the Lord’s guidance, as voiced by His Apostles. It may be time you pick up the Good Book again. I’ll direct you to Luke 12, for tonight’s reading.

Probably get out next week in the evenings and scout a bit.  Then hopefully try out my AGM Rattler V2.

Forgot about coyote season opening.  I was going to bring my .410, squirrel hunting over at my parents this weekend, because that is more effective on them when there is so many leaves yet up on the tree.  
 

I would rather have my .22 , if I run into any coyotes.

I shoot them over a bait pile from my house, also on the farm from the farm house.  I have cell cam set  at each location. 

Home I use a 22 mag,  shoots are close.  I avg about three or four a year.
