Hey guys,
Just stumbled onto this site, glad to find it. Been looking for a site with alaskan predator hunting info and its hard to find, so im pleased to finally find one. Im new to predator hunting,and reading the posts here have given me some great ideas to get started. I have been out a few times calling with an electronic caller using the rabbit and crow tapes, and a diaphram howler, but with no success yet. Im sticking to areas where I find lots of rabbit tracks and yote and lynx tracks,where you can tell they have been chasing them around. Is it best to get set up before light and begin calling at sun up? Or is closer to evening before dark a better time, or does it even matter?
Im hunting heavily wooded areas where it would be difficult to see anything coming in at long distances, this seems to be where im finding the most tracks and sign. I have spotted some coyotes while not hunting, in some of the flat tundra areas around here, but dont see any rabbit tracks or other sign that they would be after,except for maybe moose. what calls or techniqes would be best in these areas.
Any veteran kenai peninsula predator hunters out there that can give a new guy some advice?
