Being from Central MO..
we’ve got big river bottoms, crops, and a heck of a lot of timber, hills, and hollers.
There’s a little flat land mixed in there too. But mostly in my part of the state, there’s just big blocks of timber.
I’ve hunted out west a lot. WY, AZ, TX, NM, UT, SD, ND, MT and so forth.
I was sitting around just talking to other coyote hunters and listening. And I got to realizing how different we all do things obviously, but there were quite a few things different about their approach and calling stands.
I’m always eager to learn something. So I just thought I’d ask y’all if you were calling out west open country vs the timber and hills in the Midwest..
do your stands vary? And if they do, what do you do differently? What is your favorite type of country to call?
Sounds. Time on stands. Volume.
It all kind of differs for me. I’d definitely prefer to call the Sandhills of NE or the Red dessert Basin in WY over the big timber hills of Central MO if I have my choice. Mostly for the fact that if you’re setting up in a big holler with a cross wind for example, you can’t see but maybe 50 yards to the downwind side sometimes. You’ll never even knew you called a coyote. Whereas most of the time out west, they’re a lot easier to spot most of the time. At least if you get busted, you’ve got a chance to see him leave and maybe make a play.
