Got my first of the season this morning at 7;15, small male, didn't have my scale but he couldn't be over 30 pounds. Mange on the tail and face. First yote with my Drilling, 16 ga at about 20yds.
Played a male howl at 7, first light, and had 6 answers that I heard. There are a lot out there!

Got another male Tuesday morning, same stand, died right where the last one did. This was a real big male, but was so skunked up I didn't want to weigh him. My very first reloaded shot shell, one oz of NP BB 16 ga.

Just wondering, anybody here sell coyotes locally ? I really don't have a place to process them for shipping, but would like to earn a little if I could.

You might want to check here to find their nearest pick up point if you can’t find a local buyer.

Thanks Mick, they have a drop off about an hour north of me, but my issue is a place to put them up.I need to sell in the round, or just skinned.

Shot a small, really mangy yote today on my fourth stand, did it a favor I think with the single digit temps we been having. When I got back to my truck there was a nice clean four door grey GMC parked right behind my dirty, dented , blue GMC. Just wondered if it was anyone on here and how you did.

Hey guys , new predator hunter this year I started really getting into it .i am from central mass and do a lot of hunting in oxford area. I got my first dog a few weeks ago and have been grinding ever since . Any advice ? I have 3 private spots and the rest are public land . The coyote came from a private spot where I’ve gotten 5 different dogs on camera since the day I shot that one . Im giving it 3 weeks before I call there again. I plan to call at night with the full moon coming if there is snow . Any advice or tips would be appreciated

If I had five different coyotes and shot one I'd go back. Maybe try different sounds, and another position. I have a stand in a pretty built up area where I usually shoot four for the last three years. Killed two there in Oct but only hunted it once since. Its very wind sensetive, and access is limited. Like turkey hunting, its all about the setup, with the added wind problem. I'm west of the Ct. river, but have been thru your area, have friends in Southboro. If you can find a thick area where they bed try getting in close at midday and use bird sounds or vole squeaks for a half hour or so, then sit quiet for another fifteen min. That has worked for me. Good luck and hope they aren't as mangy as mine have been.

The coyote I got there was a beautiful blonde female . I have 5 other dogs across the street from the house . And at another spot two days ago I called in a coyote and had no shot it left casually from up wind not spooked . So in 10-12 days I think I have a good shot at him again. Missed a red fox at a different spot that same day too. The biggest key I have found is finding places no one has called . Dogs get educated very quickly from what I’ve seen

Do you guys use coyote vocals during the day ? I’ve been told I should stay away from howls and vocals during daylight in mass.Anyone have input ?

I've had some come in with pup distress, and almost got run over with howls at first light twice, but don't use vocals all that much, gets every dog going.
