This may be more of a Northern thing. Some of the most exciting and rewarding calling can be had at this time of year. If you want to switch from recreational fur calling to helping a rancher by taking out some territorial calf killers, now is the time. The calling can really be great at this time of year. Livestock are usually congregated and the coyotes are usually close by. This time of year the coyotes are breeding and are starting to show some territorial instincts. Howling can really have it's advantages at this time of year. It is fun to shoot coyotes and when a rancher appreciates your results, that is a nice way to top off a successful hunt. Some guys get access to hunt other game by removing coyotes during this time of year. This is my favorite time of year to call because the coyotes are usually more congregated and they are also more territorial. Give it a try if you haven't. Wiley E
