Yote hunting tactics?

[Thumper Dunker]

When I go calling Im only on a stand for 10-20 minutes then move on to another spot.1/2 to a mile or more away. In your small spot I would not call but look for trails ,scat ect. Put up some kind of bait that smells good I like rabbit urin on a stuff animal. A old rag soaked with it will work. Something that smells like rotton meat will work also.Those deer in heat and other deer atractants work also. If you have more than one spot to go to Any distres rabbit call will work. Fawn calls work well also. But only call for a few minutes then move on. Keep your bow in hand and arrow knocked to keep movement down. In woodsy or brushy places you only have seconds to make the shot.Stay upwind of the bait or decoy. I put in a good 40  + miles on a day of calling,that just going to stand to stand. But you can get them on ambush just have to play the waiting game. Good luck.

"Stay upwind of the bait or decoy"

Did I read this right?

Hey Thumper Dunker, I was reading through some of your old posts, you sir are a yote hunting machine! Have you ever thought about making a trad yote hunting movie or book? Could be big for ya, I would sure purchase it because I haven't even seen as many coyotes in my whole life as you have killed with your recurves!!!

Wooops! Stay down wind of the bait or decoy.

Well, no luck for me this morning.  All kinds of yote sign where I was but none responded to our calling.  Out setup seemed good.  We had a quivering rabbit and an electronic call with rabbit distress.  We set up about 50 yards down wind.  Did 4 different sets about a 1/2 mile apart.  Oh we'll... It was fun.  Ill keep trying.

I have seen on Saturday cartoons when I was a kid that anything labeled ACME is deadly on coyotes

Hit it next week but at a difrent time Maybe 1hr later or earlyer.Only call for maybe five minutes and not real loud . Do more looking than calling. This time of year they are thinking with hormones and sometimes they are just not hungry. Find thier traks and they will be back.
Keep at it.

thumper is dead right, Hormones be kicking into high gear soon. scent markers become very important this time of year,  had a cat and used the litter box waste, was deadly on both cats , wolves and yotes.

I put the litter in a low draw, and sat above on the down wind side. was kind of a funnel coming up from river,  Would go in evening and just sit and a 1/2 hr before dark would give a few howls

managed to get 2 yotes and a cat at this setup,

here is a link to Rich Cronks site

I think "Thumper Dunker's" middle name is "ACME"!
