Answer 2

Ok. I would suggest using calls. Being disabled might make it difficult to make a stand, as you never said how disabled you are.

Calling coyotes is an absolute blast!!! Hunting the hunters! :)

I will try to explain this the best I can in one post.

Find an area that with your disability you can access. I try to sit in an area that has a somewhat open space for 100-200 yds or so. Sit in front of a bush or tree to break up your outline so it is more difficult for them to make you out. Camo matching terrain is pretty critical. Also try to sit in the shade if possible as to hide reflections.

Also keep in mind the wind, try to sit in a crosswind where you can see downwind. Most of the time they will circle downwind to try to get the scent of whatever is making the rabbit squeel

Now about calls. There are quite a few different mouth calls that you can use: howlers, distress, and these fall into different catagories as well. Closed reed are the easiest to use pretty much just blow on them. Open reed are more tricky, but have much better sound. Unless you plan on spending alot of money stay away from the electronic calls. You get what you pay for.

To start out with I suggest getting a closed reed rabbit distress. Jackrabbit or cottentail. Cup your hands around the end of the call and practice with it, and you will notice how the sound will change. With hands cupped you get more backpressure hence a more raspy sound.

When first starting your stand don't blow too loud, you may scare coyotes that are fairly close. Start kinda soft, with little air going through the call. Call for about 30-45 seconds. Try to make the sound start more urgent sounding, with it tapering off at the end like the rabbit is being chased and getting tired.

After this first set wait about 5 minutes or so scanning the area keeping a good eye out for incoming coyotes. Sometimes they will charge in and others they will hang up around brush or tree lines. Keep repeating the calling sequence, with call for 30-45 seconds, wait 3-5 minutes. I would sit for about 30 minutes or so longer if you can.

Once you see a coyote coming in stop calling with the call and use coaxing sounds. I use a lip squeek which is just pressing your lips together and sucking air, making a high pitched squeek. Using this almost everytime they will come right towards you. Keep your movements slow and deliberate, they can pick up quite a bit.

When you get them within comfortable shooting range and you want to take the shot bark or howl at them and almost everytime they will turn broadside and present you with a perfect shot.

Good luck and safe hunting!!!

The only scents i us is a good cover. Gillie suit is about the best camo. But i have seen blinds that work too. Mack's Prairie Wing ..they have a web site...has a plastic cow./half body...that you can sit in. This works better than i ever would have thought.Calls are a must...but once the action gets close (100-200 yards).easy up on the call..you need something for them to see(little action)..you can pick up cheap models...bass pro..gander....its the motion...that drives them crazy. If you just rely on calls..You'll more likely than not...have one come around the back of ya. and your both in for a suprise.. You really need something to catch they're eye..once they closes in (even a stuff toy and string)One last call..to make them stop and pause..its your shot.
Good Luck

Set up a blind in a likely area and use sound (desteressed rabbit etc.) You can buy electronic machines to do this. My friends have had good luck with the movable decoys. If you happen to know of a local turkey/chicken farmer alot of the carcasses get removed by coyotes after the farmer throws them out.

Answer 5

bait them,go to the local deer butchers during deer season ask them for some barrells of waste then set a groung blind 100 to 200 yards off the pyle and wait some places let you hunt them at night and this is the best time to use this method.good luck

Answer 6

They sell rabbit screams on tape. One night that tape brought up 4 coyotes into our floodlights, I mean full-charge, running up to us.

Answer 7

i have heard of using cur dogs that will bring them right back to you for you to shoot. you can also use electronic calls and conventional calls but they take practice. good luck and keep trying. it's loads of fun.
p.s. i would leave the butterflies alone. they are not much of a predator.

Answer 8

u are disabled huh?..why hunting a coyote? i think catching butterfly would be safer for you..
