Coyote Hunting????

[Hillbillified]

My son is new to Traditional Archery and wants me to take him coyote hunting. He shoots a 45# recurve and I shoot a 67# longbow. We were told of a county to hunt in, but no specific areas.  We plan on using a box call instead of an electronic call.

We can't decide weather to go ghillie suit or hunting blind.  We know that we are not going to use a tree stand.

This would be my first coyote hunt and I really want my son to have a good time.  Coyote hunting seems hard enough with a rifle and we are going to go Traditional.  ANY advice would be appreciated.

Good luck!  You are better than me if it you succeed!  I have watched a video where the do it with wheelys and they used a blind and sometimes they brushed in.  Most of the time the yote saw the blind and was last seen Carryin the Mail!

Get a rabbit or fawn call . I would just use plain old camo easy to move in . Play the wind and make like some poor animal is dying a horrible death. Keep your bow in your hand. I never have real good luck with decoys but they do work ,might help to keep thier eyes off you. Don't over call.

With two hunters you can set up one person downwind of the caller. A lot of coyotes will circle downwind to double check on what's making the noise. With a hunter right there he may get a shot before you're scent busted.
You've got great coyote hunting in Nevada. Don't give up if things don't work out on the first stand or even the first trip.

First off just sit in the brush. You will be making several set uPs in a day, so a blind would be a pain. Using two fellas is great. Many yotes hold up way out to 80 or 100 yrds before coming in. A decoy will help a lot.  Use a couple of calling sequences over a 20 minute period. I wouldn't stay in one place much more then that. Use a critter or fawn call and wail on that thing so it sounds horrible and painful. Once a yote is coming in, do nothing more then some little squeeky calls unless they are far out there and not locked on your location. I don't know what kind of terrain you have, but your son could be in for a great time. Oh yeah, don't move except to draw.
