I'll admit it. I really don't know a lot about hunting coyotes. But I've been going out lately and having some sucess. Can someone answer a few questions for me though.
1. Should I howl first? I heard two barks and a howl. And then should I cut loose on the rabbit squeller? If a coyote responds by howling back then what should I do? What about no responce?
2. How long should I sit and call for? Should I call for 30 seconds then wait 2 minutes and do it again? I think I heard 10 minutes a stand once. Is that accurate?
3. How long does it take the majority of coyotes to come in? I shot a huge male yesterday that came in to forty yards and still coming when I smoked him. That was fun stuff. I was probably sitting and calling there for 7 minutes. And do they usually come in close or will then hang up sometimes far away?
4. Will a decoy dramatically increase your odds? What kind.
5. It seems an electronic call is a must. What is the best tape to play?
6. While hunting at night. Do you keep your spot light on the whole time or just turn it on and off every now and then to check for eyes?
