lets talk coyotes for a bit

[Keith Zimmerman]

Coyotes are dogs.  They are not that smart.  They start coming in to a screaming rabbit, and u switch to pups in distress, they dont stop and think, "Wait a minute. Somethings not right."  They just keep coming.  They are wary.  No doubt.  And they are the only animal that can make 3 sounds at the same time.  So....2 yotes can sound like a large pack.

I think you need to modify your thinking. This goes for all hunting. It’s not actually what’s best for anyone else it’s what will work for you.
For starters it’s gonna depend on “rut phase”. Most places it’s around now. If they’re in it you might do better w another coyote type call, say they key in on turkey, name one turkey hunter that hasn’t called in coyotes? Are they eating deer, house cats, stocked pheasant, etc? Any of those things could do better than the same exact dying rabbit everyone else is using. (Not saying it won’t work either)
Sometimes I’m pretty sure the only outdoorsman that think outside the box to succeed are trappers. Each one of them have a story about outwitting a smart fox, coyote, etc. Think like that, what is gonna help you.

I think I've shot 8/9 with a bow, by far the best luck I've had is with E-callers.  Out here in open country, I put the E-caller in a brush pocket that's large enough for them to have to walk up to it. 

In the timber it basically the same, hide the caller in something big enough for them to not "expect" to see the critter killing the rabbit/bird.

I got this guy trying to pounce on 2 fawns in 2017, the buck came in about 15-20 minutes later to some rattling.
