During this past season in one of my deer hunting areas I saw and heard an unusually large number of coyotes. This might explain why deer hunting was slow all season in this area.
Now that the deer season is over I want to find a way to stay in the woods and thought coyote hunting would be the ticket.
My questions:
1. Are electronic calls the standard method or do mouth calls work as well? This area is heavily wooded and is surrounded by pasture and some wheat fields. I have seen most of the coyotes in the woods. (of course, I'm a bowhunter and my stands are in the woods).
2. Are decoys necessary?
3. While in my stands during deer season I've seen coyotes out chasing cottontails at all hours but are morning and evening the best times?
Thanks
