I am new to Coyote hunting. I typically hear coyotes holwing near my house right at dusk. I need to call them into a field or in the woods relatively close to my house. What would be the best technique to call them when they are howling like that on their own.

Theres many ways to call them in when they are howling. Although you can stick with the standard rabbit distress calls howling back at them can be very effective. Before attempting to pursue them make sure you read up on and listen to all the different types of howls that a coyote will make and what they mean. there is endless amounts of reading and studies in the attempts to understand a coyotes vocalizations.

Safest bet if you are just getting going on coyote hunting would be to stick with the distress sounds. Howling is great but you need to walk before you run.

Thanks guys. I am new at this game and I am sure I will screw some things up before I get this all figured out.

Thats the best way to learn

Dont feel bad we all screw things up at some point, just as long as you learn from it and use it to your advantage next time. Good luck with those dogs, let us know if you get any.

Make sure you pay attention to some of the fundamentals (wind in your face, good visibility ect ect.) theres nothing that will frustrate a person tring to learn this game more than educating the coyotes they will be tring to call the most.

Second just get out there and start tring!

Good point Brad!

Keeping fundamentals in mind at all time is a major key to success!

Thanks for the replies. Is there anything special with calling them like with Turkey's. Like you can't call them downhill, across a fence, etc.?

well, you are getting into the discussion on territories. Lots of posts on territories and how coyotes react to boundary lines.

If a coyote can get to you physically it will come unless you have territory issues

Good point brad! levi and i had one in the classic that was coming in hell on wheels and i think the minute he hit that crick and sat down there was a territiory issue right there and after about 5 minutes of patient coaxing he threw all caution to the wind and jumped the boundary however he was very cautious the whole time and always looking to the south of his location.
