Has anyone had any luck hunting coyotes this year? I've gone out twice and it was too windy so I haven't even seen one yet. I went today and conditions were great early morning then the wind picked up big time.

So how about it, anyone have any luck?

I had one larger than a full grown black lab bust out of a slough about 40 feet in front of me and take off at a full run while pheasant hunting around Christmas... after figuring out it wasn't his dog or a wolf it was beyond the range at which the firearm I was carrying would have been effective so it lived to see another day. I haven't tried calling any in yet but we've heard them at night at both in-laws farms down in the SW corner of the state where they continue to create a nuisance for the livestock in the area.

been seeing lots on the road lately with some serious rash issues.

So you guys are seeing and hearing them. I'm seeing lots of tracks but just haven't been out in the right conditions yet to call one in.

Farmerj, do you think it's mange?

Pretty sure its road rash. Last trip up from Memphis, bet you there were 8-10 roadkill. And that's surprising to see that many coyote like that.

Been out once, tons of tracks but the foxpro couldn't reel any in for me.

Gotcha, well if anyone gets one, post up here! Would love to hear if anyone gets lucky.

I've picked off 4 since Thanksgiving. Three young ones right behind my house and one called in near a hog barn.
Four of my favorite sets are by "dead boxes" near hog barns.

Yuppiejr, where about in SW MN? I'm about half way between Fairmont and Worthington. We have plenty of yotes down here.

I have land arround Tracy and Walnut Grove that needs the coyotes removed. When we were down there bird hunting they were thick!

I have been out a couple times and have seen lots of tracks but none have come to the caller yet.

I was just near there this past Fri/Sat (between Marshal and 75)
converted 4 yotes to inanimate objects........
that makes 18 since New Years -
send me a PM if you have yotes in need of converson..............

What are you guys using for callers??? I am relatively new to coyote hunting and am looking for a decent mouth caller to get started.,

I'm using an electronic caller made by Icotec. I know you're looking for a mouth call but these are decent for the money. It's like Foxpro but cheaper.
