no kidden!!!!! but this is being asked by a guy that has NEVER hunted coyotes west of the minnesota river. I should have also asked! any tips for a guy that has never hunted the praries in the spring for anything other than snows. Cause I would like to try my luck and I mean TRY MY LUCK at coyotes out there for something diff. for once, just never done it.

i like shooting snows to but i'd try for some coyotes if i was you.

You'd probably have better luck trying for coyotes. Unless you plan on bringing a layout blind and a few hundred decoys. The snows get smart to the roads after a week or so which makes ditch-pigging nearly impossible.

You got that right!!!!! Your asking the wrong guys on this site if you should chase snows, we might be alittle bias!!! Chase the yotes!!

I don't understand the problem, you bring both guns and hunt both.... I never leave city limits without my guns ( take that back last week we went up to the tailrace fishing in the boat and I didn't throw the rifle in the truck )

Unless we get a major warm spell the snows will still be south of there........ And there is lots of snow in that country.... And if it starts melting fast in that area bring a boat cause they are talking major water every where.........

Hate to be a bearer of bad news, but unless the conditions are just right travel on the back country roads could be tough.

That being said there are a shit load of coyotes in that area, land is good, somewhat open, with most farmers will give permission. Snowmoblies are plenty and critters are back in off the roads, with plenty of leg you can get to them

that's more of what I was looking for!!! snowshoes, knee high boots or waders to stay dry it don't matter: and both kinda is my plan now cause I cann't get anyone to watch my dog. I am just trying to decide what the main thing I am gonna try to kill is. If there is more snow than sheet water or the sloughs are still froze solid... then its a hands down deal. COYOTES just looking for some help!! and will be hunting BY MY SELF if anyone whats to hunt or just meet to put a face with a name,

You might not want to rule out knee high boots straped into a pair of snowshoes

Last year the one feild we set up in, was shallow water in the morning, by after noon things got mealting and our blinds were swimming... Lucky for me my buddies got tubs in there blind or we would have been flooded out of that feild.............

BOTH .....and then come back the next week end, and do it all agian, The coyotes are always around and the geese come and go
