Hi, I'm new here and was wondering how I should go about Coyote hunting in Connecticut on public land. I will be using a .22LR and most of the land that is open to me is mixed hardwood forest. There are a few small fields in some other areas, but they are generally surrounded by roads and houses in a largely mixed suburban/small farm setting.
I've read two very different bits of advice:
1) find an open field
2) call them in the woods
What is correct?
Also, currently I am hunting alone and was wondering what would happen if they came in behind me? Also we have Bobcats and Blackbears. I'm not worried about the cats. (I'd love to see one, though.) But I was wondering whether blackbears might respond to, and head towards, a predator call.
Thanks in advance.
