I am also a new member and new to the sport of Coyote hunting. I have hunted a few times in Fairfield and Licking counties. I have had several yotes respond with howls/barks to my calls but haven't called any in yet. At least I know I'm hunting areas with decent numbers of dogs. Anyone else hunt central Ohio?

Hmmm...That guy in the Picture looks familiar.
I'm glad I got to meet you all. I hope newdog at least saw one. That's a long trip for no fur. I'm gonna go back in the next few weeks and see if I can shoot a piggy.
cpd1501 Welcome to the site. I'll warn you now this coyote hunting is addicting.

I just wanted to say Hi! I am new to the site and live in Darke county if anyone is close to me I would appreciate hearing from you I would like to pick the brains of local hunters to see what kind of setups and tactics you use.I have about four years experience and have called in 5 yotes and one red

Hay all good to meet everyone and to put faces to the names on the board,Can't wait to get back down south for some more action.I know one thing i got my legs worked out in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can be said? We got to go callin on a morning that was really made to order. It was really good to meet all you guys.
One thing that really surprised me was the amount of traffic seen on those back roads, Makes me kinda wonder how pressured the dogs are in that area. From what I understand that tunnel area gets ALOT of traffic from El Touristas, but damned if we didnt see a ton of sign there. Well worth a second or third look.

Yes i agree we saw alot of good sign up high but we could not get anything to respond to our calls,We tried a basket of thing from howls to rabbit distress to woodpecker and Decoys from elctronic to manf calls to custum calls they just did not want to play !!!!!!!!!with no succes but hay there is always next time.

rooster-

tell us more about the hogs, would be interested in a pig hunt.

Joe

Telling the area of the hogs is like showing your hunting buddies your girlfriend hottest spot on her body!!!!!!!!!

ya got that right caribou.

Pigs? Smart money would be on goin and shootin at a game ranch. There are a T-O-N of gun hunters that beat those woods to a froth, with only a couple pigs gettin shot. Give it a couple years and it might be worth goin specifically for that reason. Theyve talked for years bout how that area of vinton is just plum ate up with them, and Ive still yet to meet anyone who could back up "stories" involving some friend of a friend.

Nope carribou, they didnt want to play. We called some spots that had hours old tracks and got nothin. I might go back in there some night and run a few spots. With all the Hikers and sight see-ers they just might be used to layin up in the daytime.

Any word from Hunterelite? Was it a wash for all of us?

no yotes here either just a ton of pigs .

We did catch a quick look at something that rushed our call in a clear cut. Happend so fast and in such thick stuff that you couldnt make out what it was for sure. Tracks were yote but if all i would have had was the sighting i couldnt have been sure what it was. Saw "0" fox sign. We had good yote sign in three of six spots we set up in, nobody wanted to play though. We ended up thinking that the grouse hunters had the dogs pushed way back and nervous.
Stopped by the boat ramp right before noon but no one showed. Tried two more spots before dark , got into some rain , and headed home.

Good meeting you guys , Huntereliete and cariboudreamer drop me a pm some time , maybe we could get together for a hunt around home??? Im planning on going down south again , soon.
