I have recently started hunting hogs at an area close to the house where my fiancee keeps her horse. There are always coyotes howling while were out and the girl who owns the place would love for me to take some out, as she also raises cattle and breeds horses. I have never hunting yotes and had a few questions. The area is about 400 acres and has several freshwater ponds, also hits the bay(saltwater), lots of pasture area.
1. Calls(I'd like to keep cost down) Recommendations. Hand call(how hard to use?), cheap electric(any good?), wire with a bobbing tail thing(do i really need it?)
2. What time of day would be best to go out if I wanted to be successful?
3. As I stated there are several ponds and a lot of open pasture with high grass. Where should I set up, at a water source looking over a pasture, against a tree line? Some of the ponds have hills that would give a larger view. Also at night 1 pasture tends to have rabbits all over it, would this be an easier area to get them to come to?
4. Do I really need to be in full camo, or will just settling down in some brush and staying still work fine?
5. How much or how long do I need to call without stopping?
I think that sums up all the questions I have, I know there are some pretty serious yote hunters here and I would appreciate any advice you could offer.
