My son (14) recently got re-interested in hunting in general and asked to go coyote hunting. We live in Arizona. We are having marginal success. for example, we went out today this morning near Wickenburg First stand we set up and were calling facing the west. Wind was blowing north to south. Picked up a coyote coming in from the west to the east toward us. He circled and got into the wind and I am assuming winded us. He took of without us getting a shot. Makes sense. 2nd stand....we went about 3 miles down the road. Called facing west sun is behind us. Coyote came in from the north to south. It came trotting in and out pretty quick not offering a shot. 3rd one that came in was the same. Wind seemed right on all three of our 6 stands. I guess getting a coyote to come in on 3 out of 6 stands isnt bad but they just are seeming to run to and through our stand and not presenting a shot opportunity.
We are using a Lucky Duck e-caller w/decoy, ground and pound hunting chair, predator deception camo. im using my 22 hornet and my son uses his 25-06 with some light bullets. we take shotguns on some stands. We usually sit on stands from 20-30 minutes depending on the terrain etc.
Anything we can do to get them to stop and hold up for a shot or have a little success actually connecting with one?
