Coyote Calling Competition Tips! - How Calling Competitions Work! - Part 2
Coyote Calling Competition Tips! How Calling Competitions Work! Watch this video to see how to have success in coyote calling contests! I take you inside of my world, where I came from in the realm of outdoor coyote calling competitions.
Coyote calling competitions are exactly how I got to where I am today. They helped me to gain knowledge and understanding of the coyote and how to call them more efficiently.

OK Les, now I understand the benefits of KZhead. This is the kind of tutorial I've been wanting for years from you. We know you can hunt, but sitting down and talking about how you hunt is so helpful. I've basically self taught myself by watching you for years. Yes I learned a lot by watching you, but I had to try and put that into use in the field. Knowing what you are thinking will help me think. Thanks for all your videos and for teaching us all. Derek
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Les can't wait for part 3
iv been waiting 20 plus years to hear you share this !!!! excellent video!! I have followed your success since the mid 90,s. lost lots of cash to the johnson boys!!(contests)- have always looked up to your style and true respect for this sport we love!! Thanks les!!
Finally videos that teach the thinking behind the madness!!!
Great info on video, look forward to trying some of your tactics out. Look forward to part 3.
Thank you Dale! LJ
Once again, Very interesting. Thanks
Always enjoy your content Les ! we are hitting it this weekend in central N.M
Good luck out there High Desert! I hope you call lots! Thanks for watching and commenting! LJ
You're giving away all of our secrets Les! LOL just kidding, but you have laid the groundwork for people looking to get into competition hunting. I agree with almost everything you have said so far in the 2 videos I have watched. The locating, mindset, moving off stand, and grid hunting all resonate with me. Like you, I'm a competitive son of a squash, and I think about things quite differently than the average hunter. I'm waiting to watch your video on gun selection. Something tells me we will agree there as well. All the best Les, keep them coming! Matt
Matt, thank you for watching and commenting! :) I like it when people think the same way! LJ
Great vidoe. Can't wait for part 3!
Thank you for watching and commenting JD! LJ
Thank you again Les, I am going to use these techniques on calling, much to my chagrin I have realized from watching your videos that I have forgot some things I learned over the years and some sneaky bad habits crept in on me. your videos are a nice reminder of the basics of calling coyotes.
Thank you Patrick! Yes, sometimes we forget how basic we need to keep it. Or simple for that matter. Good luck and have a nice weekend. LJ
Les, great info! Can't wait to use this in the field! "KIYI" is a must!!! Thank Les
Thank you for watching Keith! Good luck out there! LJ
good stuff les. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you Casey and your welcome! Thank you for watching/commenting! LJ
Thanks for the helpful hints Les ..
Thank you fajunkle! I appreciate your comment and view! LJ
Knocking em down here in MO with the Ruffy Dog and Jack Rabbit Delux truly great products. Always enjoy the visits when i make it through NE. Thanks once again my friend.
great video!!!! the mark of the best coyote caller is how they can do on public land. Anyone can go find some ranch honey hole that only they have access to. Many of the guys that win the competitions you typically see them only do well when the competition is in that location. They have something figured out for that spot. I wish they had a competition that had a random draw and people had no idea where they were going to hunt. That is why my favorite thing is hunting country I have never been to. YES I have hunted west of saratoga, lot of private land for a while there. on over to baggs, then up north to wamsutter. all that area. I am a western public land coyote caller, utah, idaho, wyoming, colorado,nevada, most years I hunt 4 out of those 5 I love the challenge of looking at the map and calling a coyote in areas I thought looked good, that I have never seen before.
Lots and lots of truth to that Steve! I love the west and all of the public land as well! Fun to be out where you never see another vehicle all day! Thank you for watching and commenting Steve! Good luck on all of your hunts! LJ
you the man les wish I had the education that you do when it comes to calling coyotes
Hey William, thank you! Trust me....for this education it has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars! But well worth it! :) Thanks again for watching and commenting! LJ
Thanks for sharing Les
Thank you for watching and commenting Huff! Have a good day! LJ
Awesome i have watched several of your videos today... i sure hope you do some videos talking about techniques for eastern yotes. we are in north carolina and its all timber small fields, pastures, and cutovers here.. we have called in a few here and there but nothing like i think we should with all the yotes that we know are in the area. thanks
Very interesting tips there Les....good stuff. I'm addicted........simple, ya shoot one ya want another1!
Thank you hunt4fish! Thanks for watching and commenting! LJ
Great video les
Thank you Airguns! Thanks for watching and commenting! LJ
It's so hard to hunt coyote here in southwestern Pennsylvania.. so much thick cover.. so manyfarmers greedy with their land.. only places to hunt are coal mine property or consol energy property they buy it.drill it.timber it and then allow ya to hunt it.. can't even walk thru it's so thick.. I'd love to hunt coyote out west on the flat open land.. hell with deer hunting or elk or any big game animals.. I get way more of a rush shooting a coyote.. love your video.. wish I cld find me a down wind guy.. I'm a 47yr old woman and people say I'm crazy to go off into the woods late at night alone to hunt coyote... they just don't understand I guess!!
I had plenty of chances to do a coyote competition here in Scott back in January which I didn't think I was good enough to try. but I'm hoping before this next fall I will find some new ground to call on.
What a wealth of information, thank you so much from the Great White North.....
good info especially when coyotes have a college degree in my area
Thank you for watching and commenting Marvin! LJ
thumbs up number 2
Les where do I get a hoodie like your wearing there? I’m learning a lot from your vids but I’m in Alabama so these easterns are different than west. Thanks
Here in New Mexico on the rez I'm from most dogs are quiet... I hunt close to areas where I hear them while guiding elk hunters. I hunt from 10,000 feet to 6000 feet from thick timber mountains to wide open flats
I'm probably not going to any calling competitions,I'm already in competition with the yotes around here. W.N.Y. Big dogs & plenty enough of them. A real problem for just about everyone. Very smart educated & very used to being near people,wise to people, & their fear of people in this higher populated area mixed of country, rural & urban has educated them to the point of being so stealthy,call wise & unfoolable, that they aren't really afraid or concerned by people trying to pursue them,& are confident & rightfully so,that people basically dont stand a chance of beating them at their game. They have switched to running adult deer with the rough late winter conditions now,February 13th it is, stealing cats from little girls & boys & anything else toothable that doesnt hibernate or now tunnel mostly under the snow as the rabbits do. We are allowed to hunt over bait here, even that they get wise to no matter if starving. Its breeding season for them now too. I was a trapper. It became pointless because they find,shred & eat 1/2 of everything you catch. Oh I can trap them,but! The expense of up grading traps,stakes,cables or chains enough to hold them is not worth it with their fur(Eastern coyote or brush wolf) being mostly worthless & a lot of very hard work. Even then,the trap is pretty much one time use,its so destroyed by them it might never set reliably again. Do the math? A $10 to $25 dollar trap for every 10 to 25 dollar hide. Minus theft,fuel,bait,urine,lure,4 wheeler or side by side,clothing,boots,& much other gear from amo to pack baskets,& license fees! Not to mention all fur prices have been disgusting even long before covid other than select western coyotes. Got to love those animal activists. Hey,thank them for the facemasks!
Damn genius. Why have you stopped making videos?
Another winner full of great info! My question is,.... so if a coyote adds a little yip/bark at the end of his howl, that typically means he knows you're there?
No, but I take a "Bark" on most instances as a warning or threat. What does a dog do when you go into someones driveway when your not from there? I think he warned and he barked to call his bitch back to him.
hey les i know you use the gs2 im in the market for something everyone has the foxpro stuff so coyotes know the sounds but i wanted to find some reviews on the gs2 and cant.. can i get you opinion on it like is it better for wooded areas or better for desert areas is it hard to download new sounds any info would help thanks again
hay my name is Travis I live in my and would love to go hunting with you but don't know if you do any of that just got started in coyote and had verry little. luck I think I can learn. a lot from you don't know how much you charge to go hunting but would love to. get you to come to my and hunt with me thanks for your time and your video's are the best I've ever seen thanks
Was that brother team Tom and Ted by chance? Just curious.
👍🐾🐾🐾
What do you guys do with all those death coyotes.?
I'm going tomorrow evening....Taking the Browning 223 Stainless Stalker and the Remington 870....I have the same electronic call that Les uses and I'm right here in Central Oregon and I can Hear the Yotes almost every night. I've killed about 9 Yotes in the last couple years...I only have to Drive about 6 miles and I'm there......I've shot them with my .17...870...223.....30.06 which just PULVERIZED HIM....I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN AND SHOULDN'T HEAR THEM PRETTY SOON...
Which call do you open with?
Question! You use dying rabbit?
Yes Jeff.
Okay so I'm in a hunt currently. I hunt Nighy and daytime. I have a lot of ground and never call the same ground anymore than once every two weeks. Coyotes get pressure around here quite a bit whether on your ground or when they are out and about hunting. I went in last night and first stand during my night hunt I did a mouth howl interrogation howl and had a pack way North of me yip ans howling, what sounded like an old male just west of me maybe 200 yards do a lonesome type of howl and two younger males in different spots howl on from of me a ways away. all this from one howl. when they howl back is that bad. I shut my lights off due to the full moon driving last night and was quite ans a good ways from the road and in fairly close to some CRP and pine brush. ended up calling a fee bobcats in but never a coyote. was the howl from the old male a warning howl? there was never a bark or anything just a Howl. he was where I couldn't get to him effectively so I let him be for another time. I use howls on a regular ans last night I used a female interrogation or a higher pitch howl if you will to mimic a lone female.
The more you shoot....the more you shoot. The population stays the same doesn’t it? They start reproducing faster?😂😂😂
Poor little coyotes
