Need help, I'm in Deer Park TX?
It has been a call for quite some time and is commonly used to locate coyotes at night to hunt at a later date

Coyotes are a problem, but for years the bears have been coming to gun shots on my farm down east. If you shoot a deer with a bow, you are on the trail immediately. Even with that, I have had a buck taken off my tailgate by bear. I lost 2 bucks in one evening hunt, and had put hands on both of them.
As for coyotes, I predator hunt a lot. Becoming one of my favorite past times with a rifle. As stated above, if a pack comes to the call, I shoot the biggest in the hips to break him down, and his yelps bring the others back out. Can normally drop 2 or 3 more this way. I don't use an AR anymore for coyotes because my trigger finger is faster than my reticle. I find I am times more accurate with a bolt as I know I have to make each shot count.
With that said, I want to control the coyote population not eliminate it, as I feel they have a place in the eco system and I also enjoy the challenge.
Our rule is the same as stated above, any coyote is to be shot while deer hunting, no exceptions.

I hunt in Oklahoma, our yotes are very high population. We bow hunt only, see yotes almost every hunt. shot this doe with recurve a little back, wanted to wait 6 hours knew better though. Starting trailing 2 hrs after hit, about 100yds found bed with blood and stomach material, no doe, 70 yds further found hair everywhere and ground torn up another 30yds this. Complete meat strip...nothing but hide and bones left. We loose a lot of our deer if we wait to trail more than 30 mins. If you make a bad shot we have recovered 0% of meat by waiting over 4 hours. Land owner will not let us trap or shoot them. But surprisingly we have a very high deer herd.

To quote another "I like seeing coyotes, up close with a bullet hole in them". I don't really care what I am hunting or where I am hunting. If I see a coyote and have a shot, I will kill it if I can.

I lived there for many years. When in Poway a pack of them would come out of hills behind me . I lived on a corner lot. They'd come downhill on one road on side of me and turn left in front house yipping whole time. Always between 2 and 3am when I couldn't get out of bed. I never saw cats around .
I live in MI and have a trapper trying to take out a few off our property. I run cams snd have them on camera almost every night and lately even middle of day. Going to give trapper another week then time for me get Foxpro out and 55HH. I was hoping trapper would have success other than coons.

I lived in Orange County Ca for years and they would walk down the street in the mornings almost like a dog. Got into the trash cans if they were left out, attacked cats, dogs etc.
you couldn't shoot them because it was in the city. Now in rural Oregon they are year around fair game but only in the daytime. No night hunting.

Yes, coyotes will pull a calf down. There have been arguments on that. Many do not believe they are capable. I myself went to put out feed one cold January morning. I noticed a cow running back and forth along the fence line frantically. I topped the hill and a coyote had her calf by the nose. I placed a .223 pill into the coyote. The coyote sat down then started spinning biting and pulling at its entrails that were out. I guess it thought it must be a snake biting.
