Take your kid hunting. You won't shoot as many coyotes but you will have a hunting buddy for life. Seven year olds are good with mouth calls

I hunt turkey roost areas first and second stand of the morning and I use a slate or box call. We usually hunt the river bottoms and lakes from high spots with bait and a decoy mid- day check your local laws.
Talk to your livestock farmers. They will want you around if you prove to be a worthy person to slow em down. They will also know where and when they most often come from

Use a decoy. The Foxpro Black Jack is very effective. Today, I had a coyote stop 5 yards from it mesmerized.

Sixty yards is too far for a 12 gauge 3.5" 00 Buck. Shot one today. He spun circling and biting at his side. Then disappeared in the heavy cover. Waited and then looked for hours. I am sure he will die, however, there is nothing hanging on the lodge pole. Hate it.

Try setting up the call and decoy the night before. You will be able to get in the area without all the noise. Get within about 30 yards and start your sequence. This works great in heavy cover on the really wise ones.

Dogs hunt with ears, eyes, and finally nose. Maybe not the dumb young pups early in the season, but if they survive and grow up, they learn this lesson well. They will confirm with their nose what they are hearing and seeing, which is why they almost always approach from down wind. We can never eliminate our scent, but do everything you can to lesson it. Don't wash your clothes in laundry detergents, you can make great "scent free" laundry soaps out of baking soda and ivory soap. Many youtube videos are available on this. Don't have your nice clean coat hanging up in the kitchen and fry bacon for breakfast, you can smell it for days. If you can smell your buddy, or he can smell you, the dogs will smell you miles away.

Hunt in areas that have cattle. Coyotes love to hang around them. Cattle move the wildlife around (mice,rabbits, quail,etc.). They love an easy opportunity. They will also eat, after birth and the young. If times are bad they will even eat the patties.

Coyotes do hang around cattle, especially during calving season. Just don't set up very close to the cows. They run around and act stupid when they hear the call or see a guy walking past them in camo. Cows are also a little flighty early in the mornings.

Still grinnin' on that one. Thanks for the back up.

At least somebody is grinnin. It usually isn't funny when cows screw up a stand, and horses can be bad too.

I've actually had far better luck patterning the coyotes and setting an ambush. Coyotes usually have a routine of where they go when the sun comes up and ranchers start making the rounds. You can pluck more coyotes out of a pack this way than you can calling. I have been ambushing one honey hole for 4 years now and they are just now figuring it out. You get better shot opportunities too. Called in coyotes know your exact location and can split at any second. Ambushing coyotes gives you shots when the coyote is more relaxed.
