Hi,
I am recently retired and am brand new to predator hunting. As a matter of fact I just bought a .223 rifle last week, and ordered an electronic caller that won't be delivered until mid-late October, so all I'm doing in the mean time is lining up places to hunt, getting equipped, getting advice, etc.
My question is; Should I plan to hunt coyotes mainly at night, mainly during daylight, or both?
If I need to plan to hunt after dark, what kind of light will I need? I will probably be alone most of the time.
Will I need a red lens?
Some of the local guys that I have talked to hunt foxes and bobcats right from their truck, but they don't have any experience with coyotes. I can't believe that a coyote will walk within shooting range of my white truck, so I'm thinking that I need to be out of sight of the truck. Any advice that you can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
