Title: coyote kill times
Post by: jerad188 on October 24, 2012, 09:55:36 PM
Normally I only get to hunt from dark until about midnight, but was curious if I would have better luck at a different time of day/night. Thanks for your votes!

I didn't vote.
I hunt sun up and before sundown (1st two poll questions).
I rarely Coyote hunt at night.
Your poll results may not be accurate as most folks haven't experienced long term day versa night hunting.
So I think you may get answers 'when' folks hunt instead of 'when' folks have the best luck.

I think the only reason I hunt is that I have 10+ hrs to hunt and can hit many spots, but daylight hunting only gives you probably 2 hours to do it in the morning until they become inactive for the day. Just my opinion I guess

I always had more coyote call ins during the early morning daylight hours.
Also, I has the same problem with getting to the right spot at the right time, to do a couple stands, hunting daylight hours. That's basically why I started night hunting.
They say coyotes are crepuscular ( most active and responsive during the light change) like a walleye, if you fish.
I think it gives them a bigger prey base, shopping at two different grocery stores, being the nocturnal prey and diurnal

jerad188,That's a tough question.To simplify things I would say fields and open cover at night,brush and mountains early mornings and evenings.
