Tracking can be difficult especially at night. One thing you may want to include in your kit is a spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide. It will foam when it hits the blood. Can make spotting blood tracks at night much easier.
That’s an ancient Chinese secret. Dang I finally heard one, thanks 🎉
Thermal can detect warm blood too.
also very good for eliminating skunk smell. learned that one the hard way
I always carry a flashlight with a black light/uv setting, might need to add a little spray bottle too the pack
Just found you.. I subscribed. I used to hunt Coyotes back in the 80's and early 90's especially.. I used a 22.250 Ruger Number 1 varmint. It was a tack driver. I also used a Critt'r hand held open reed call and I had great luck. I killed 7 coyotes at one farm about 20 miles south of Indianapolis. Fox, etc, in my hometown in very south central Indiana. Great video. I'm 62 and I want to get back into it since I'm about to retire and I'm going to have fun now! I think I'll either get a Ruger American or an AR such as a Colt carbine or a Windam, etc.. Thanks so much man.. Great video.. Regards from South Central Indiana. The heartland. USA Tim Oh.. A couple more things.. 😛 I'm only going to be hunting during the day, but I used to camo out big time and I agree, it helps. I go prone and used a bipod and really really made sure my setup was good. I tried to setup downwind and started calling slowly with squeeks first and then howled and used puppy in distress usually with great results.. I've had fox and coyotes come in fast with mouse squeaks right away! Great tip.. I've not hunted at night and I don't even hunt during the summer or spring. I hate bugs as I'm allergic to all kinds of biting bugs.. So I like to hunt after all the fall freezes when the bugs go back to hell where they belong.. 😛 The chest rig is awesome. I used to use a belly pack that was kind of big.. I might build like an 18" or 20" upper on a PSA lower with a good drop in trigger.. That or a bolt gun. Not sure which one I'll use, but I also agree.. It's supposed to be fun and makes it good to see animals, etc.. Great times.. I get out and have a great time seeing all typse of animals. One time all camo'd up I had an owl come down and touch my head. I had a headnet on and was sitting against a bunch of tree's and such a land owner had pushed up at the edge of a field with a front end loader. I thought you might want to add to your next video to tell everyone to always, ALWAYS get permission to hunt and to offer to pay or help with whatever the farmer might need. It helps and I"ve even got permission to deer hunt.. Thanks so much.. Sorry for all the writing, but I'm excited to get out there and put the dogs down! 😛 Tim
The thermal mon with the nv scope is definitely a game changer. The targets practically jump out at you with a thermal.
i feel the primary way for success in this sport is to get a lot of hunting spots and permissions so that you can go to certain sites according to the wind and get coyotes that haven't been called in before.
Awesome video. Glad I ran across this, we just had a coyote attack on a dog, not sure how many but way more than one, we keep hearing them late at night, needed some tips to get them in.
I appreciate how your channel is geared towards your average typical hunter. My gear has taken years to accumulate. A lot of wasted money along the way. Thanks for the tips!
Im new to Coyote hunting. Your video was excellent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and advice on equipment.
Thank you for watching!!! Glad it was helpful.
A $20,000 coyote tournament here in montana this Friday through Sunday and looking forward to it🙏🏽
Definitely agree with throwing sounds at them. Can't tell you how many coyotes would be hung up, then you switch sounds and they bomb in. Just had it happen last night. Started with some interro howls, then some cottontail distress, then some jackrabbit distress. Nothing came in. Switched sounds to coyote distress and coyote/coon fight played at the same time. This yote came burning in and stopped 20 yards in front of us
I also want to thank you for the tips and I agree getting out there and do is what makes a person good what works really well one time might not the next time it depends on the situation
New subscriber here. You cover a ton of info, greatly appreciated
Thank you so much!!!
Those little mags are so cute! Nice vid!
Hahaha! Yeah we have to hunt with 5 round mags here in Maine.
Hello from Maine! Thanks for posting this to the group! (Subscribing!)
Hey there!!! Thank you so much!
About those 18650s go find yourself 3000mah or higher. You’ll find those at a vape shop. Also the external battery chargers have car adapters too so you won’t have to use a battery bank.
I carry a small bean bag for blinds and other things one might perch a weapon on. I have thought about getting chest rig for my bear defense.
Another awesome video! I'm just starting out serious coyote hunting, but what do you do with it after its killed? Pelt it out?
I have a friend that is really into skinning and fleshing so I give them to him. I plan to do a video on skinning them and going over all of the uses of the animal so it doesn’t go to waste.
learn how to skin them, then put it into a paper bag and then garbage bag. keep in the freezer with the rest of your furs until the end of the season and send them into a person who can flesh them and finishing them
I’m a random law student in Tulsa, but I’m looking to get out and participate in hunting to enjoy the outdoors more in my downtime. I decided to start hunting coyotes, because not only are they vermin who seriously bother our farmers’ cattle, but also in Oklahoma they are open season all year long, with no restrictions on the bag limit. So it’s a win for the community, since they need the numbers reduced, a win for the longevity, because I can go whenever I want for the rest of my life, and good for me because now I get to go enjoy some nature and outdoors for once haha. I’ve only a long rifle and pump shotgun. So obviously, I would be doing day hunting with my limited arsenal. Where can I get a call device? I’ve never bought one before, as a beginner. Finally, after I have my call and firearm, is that all I need to succeed?
I would buy an Icotec caller either the outlaw or the night stalker from Logan at Fall River shooters. Link in description. It’s definitely a learning experience every time and it’s not easy to succeed. Best of luck to you!
@@OwnTheHunt appreciate it!
Can you provide a link for your tripod setup please. I've been looking at bog but it doesn't look like it will adjust low enough for ground sit shooting
There is a link in the description of the video. Research Innorel tripods. They are pretty solid!

Great info!!!
So I'm from Arizona and I just got I to coyote hunting, were not allowed to use thermal or night vision does that apply to the night scopes with illuminators ?
If the law says no infrared night vision and no thermal then the only other way to night hunt would be super bright red or green lights mounted to your rifle with a normal scope. I highly recommend red light over green and the best on the market is sniper hog lights
Another arizonian here sad about the night vision :(
What kinda ammo are you using? I am looking to get outside more. Can hunting Coyotes be done while walking? I need to get more exercise.
I don’t know anyone that hunts coyotes while walking like you would deer. They really are smart animals and require to be stationary and call to them or bait them. I reload my ammo and my favorite bullet is a hornady Vmax or SST. Best of luck to you!!!
That is so funny. All I need to call coyotes, fox, and bobcats is a bolt action 1896 Swede Mauser in 6.5 x55, open sights. No shooting sticks, not even a but pad to sit on. A hand held manual caller that I have owned for 45 years. I have shot over 100 coyotes and several of the aforementioned predators over 45 years.
That’s cool man too each his own
I just started for coyotes , The land in SE MA isn't the best since there isn't many open fields that are for hunting , also a lot of restrictions depending on where you go
Close range like woods use shotgun with OO buck
Just bagged one the other day in dense woods. Set the call close. Shotgun works best there. Keep it shouldered and ready. Wait till it goes behind a tree and quietly get in position to shoot
It’s 2022 and things like the wind are easily checkable. I mean shit use your phone, or put your finger in your mouth, get it wet, and feel which way the wind is coming from. You don’t NEED all of this gear to hunt, even though this video is VERY inexpensive. Minus the AR lol. But things like a sidearm you don’t need at all. Just be prepared when you go to recover your kill. Or wait it out. But anyways keep up the content loving it!
Thanks! A side arm is pretty important for protection and for dispatching. I do use my phone to check the wind which I mentioned in the video. Appreciate the feedback. Thank you for watching.
how about the 250-22 in an automatic or get a 243 , can u tell how to find your rifle videos
What do you think about the arken day/night scope with laser range finder for predator hunting?
I have heard it’s got a good image! Only downside is I think it’s a 5x base magnification which can be a bit much at times.
For day hunting, is there times better than others? Like early morning until around 10:00am and after that is it pretty much wasted time? Hunting in Pennsylvania btw.
4:20pm
how well does this work using the thor 4 to scan field and nothing else? Its all I have right now and havent tried it yet.
The problem with a thermal at a distance is most affordable ones don't have enough resolution to identify what exactly you're seeing you see a well-lit shape but is it a calf or is it a coyote or is it the farmer's dog
@@dzeyo651 My question was not worded well. I meant using the scope as a scanner since it was all I had at that time. The scope works great for IDing anything,,even the farmers dog.
Would I be better off buying a call or the decoy that has the built in call?
Definitely a call. Decoys are not as important.
How much more does that coyote can illuminate and give you further range than the light that comes standard with the ATN XSight?
A lot!
Where is a good place to buy your night vision equipment
What kind of scent control do you do other than playing the wind?
Nothing
Flashlight and iron sights is all you need. Maybe a good spotter with a spot light.
Good luck with that.
Man, been coyote hunting for a couple of years now... or trying to, haven't got one yet. We don't have a field to use, just the woods where we deer hunt. Can't get them to come in close enough to see them. It's been a challenge for sure. We'll keep trying!
I’m in the same boat man. 2 years now and nothing. One thing I have learned is patience even if you don’t get barks back because late last year we called for about 20 minutes and we left that spot and drove ahead about 2 min away and walked up this hill and on the other side it opened up and 3 dogs were running towards us. We called them in from probably about a mile away ish and it was taking them forever to reach us. They turned and burned before we could do anything. Other spots I’ve got barks back but never saw them. Keep hustlin!
Watch the down wind side ,I’ll bet it are being watched or smelled more than you know.
We gotten a couple in in oregon but no shot in a couple years of actually hunting them ive gotten a few just random tho
Thinking about starting predator hunting… my question is… other than mounting if you wanted too… otherwise what do you do with all the coyotes after you kill them?
Sell the pelt or leave them there where they lay
Thanks,
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi my name is Chad I'm in Coyote hunting for about 6 years medium success One question that I have about your video you say that if like a rabbit distress or mouse or whatever doesn't work change it up to like a bird distress I'm a night hunter I hunt mostly at night there's not a whole lot of birds that fly around I'm in Wisconsin but you say to paint a picture set the stage obviously if there's a rabbit in distress that doesn't work and you switch to a bird wouldn't it throw a red flag saying that there's two wounded animals in distress there is it better to stick with one just distress call
I completely understand where you’re coming from with your question, interestingly enough coyotes don’t seem to reason like we do as humans. If they hear a sound that gets their interest and attention they will react accordingly. I have had rabbit not work and then switched to fawn distress and had them commit. Where you don’t want to go crazy with mixing sounds is the coyote vocals themselves.
Hey how did you fix the windscreen to your ATN?
It’s a small windscreen that I had for a microphone and I cut it and used double sided tape and cut a hole in it so not to cover the mic and stuck the windscreen on it.
Please tell me what tripod your using for your call.
Here is a link to it: www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRYB8Y1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
So how does the rifle mount to the tripod
Using a arca Swiss mounting plate. I have other videos specifically in tripods if you’re interested.
Which one is better for night hunting? night vision or thermal device?
Thermal is going to have more advantages than night vision.
You have a night vision scope on your rifle. Does it work better than thermal as a scope?@@OwnTheHunt
what thermal monocular you using?
I currently have an AGM Taipan TM19-384
You got 50k views for this??? Crap, I need to get into the podcast, educational videos of hunting!
How often should you call and how long
That’s a really difficult question because it really depends on the coyotes. I like to start a set rather quiet and with some light distress or a couple of lone howls. Then I’ll move into maybe some louder distress or louder howls maybe an answer howl.
What length is that barrel
It’s a 20”
Tip #10 When coyotes are busting in on you and your hunting partner, DON’T slap them on the back and yell “Coyotes” “three of them” LMAO😎
Hahahaha! That one must be learned the hard way!
😂
A piece of gear that I think is very helpful is a Range Finder. I didn't hear you mention that.
Thank you! Yes during the day a rangefinder can be helpful. During the night you would need a rangefinder made for night hunting or have it integrated into your night optic
Is that a custom ar
Yes, I built that one.
👊👊
What would you wear on a scale of 1-10?
Can you be more specific?
#LarsonFarms Intro Nusic
Which is easier, night or day hunting? Your preference?
They are both very difficult. I prefer night hunting because it’s so exciting. I also like day hunting because you get to see the animals in really good detail as they come in. I would say day hunting is cheaper to get into because you only need a call and a rifle that you most likely already have.
The best hunting for coyotes is with chunks of meat laced with strychnine it really does the job and on the plus side you might get some crows and hawks maybe a skunk or two as well
Poisoning wild animals is wildly unethical. You never know what’s going to get into it. Either learn to hunt them or let others who do know how do it for you (plenty will do it for free).
I disagree with sitting on the ground ,one you cant see squat and 2 you get the angle and can see so much more body sitting on a small chair you can see chest and way more of body for much better shot placement ,BEST YET IN a deer stand for way better view
I would argue a weapon is more important than a call lol
Lol I would have to agree.
NO chest pack!
Definitely is a check pack there. I also go over it.
Are coyotes all you hunt?
No I hunt pretty much everything there is a season for here in Maine. I just really love coyote hunting.
Your call is made in China buy American or at least from our Allies when you can and in this case you can
To be honest I don’t care where it’s made! It works damn well and is far better than the foxpro call I had before it. Thanks for watching!
@@OwnTheHunt UN American
@@OwnTheHunt Sad there are actually people like you who don't care about anyone but yourself
@@davidreed4809 right…..and that’s why i spend a majority of my time reviewing products to help others decide how to spend their hard earned money.
Yeh send there hard earned money to our enemies typical blind liberal
Watching hunters talk about gear is so much better than taticool people. You don't see hunters running around with illegal weapon lights in the field.
hunting should be one of the most basic tasks, all that gear is almost pathetic.
Have you ever coyote hunted intentionally? Or just got lucky while deer hunting?
I mean you can throw rocks at them if you want man but I’ll stick to my SPR build, IR NVG optics, and electronic caller.
@@Racc1-1 yessir!!!! Great comment!
@@Racc1-1 not much of a hunter are ya?
@@mikeofmanymikes2630 Nah, I’m not much of a hunter. Have a good amount of experience behind lots of different an/pvs models, M2, M240B, M249, M107, AT4, and every variant of A4/M4. Also have experience in instructing some of those. It just so happens that I also enjoy coyote hunting as a hobby.
Kinda cool…. Tactical looking guns are disgusting IMO
The AR is the most effective rifle platform for night hunting. It’s extremely difficult to get a follow up shot on a running coyote at night so a semi auto is a must.
@@OwnTheHunt I’d say that’s the debate between skill vs. equipment.
@@johnmahoney4841 not really. I would say if you use a bolt gun at night you had better hope they drop in their tracks.
Sorry I ran out of piss for this match
Shot placement is key.. we don’t have CF semis here so bolt .223 is what i use for foxes.. never needed a follow up shot with it..55gr t3tactical 👌.. never been an advocate of the spray and pray method but I’m not from ‘merica 😉
