how rare are black coyotes
« on: January 27, 2011, 04:10:08 PM »
hello everyone and uncle buck.....
well it has been awhile since my last post and i believe i have found a winter den on some game lands near my j
house....
i have been scouting this game land for the last year or so and had some success but no kills yet...today was or should i say the last couple of weeks have been productive...no kills but alot of vocalizations....barking and such....but today i believe i caught a glimpse of one of the yotes and it was black or a very dark color....i don't think I've been busted yet but i have been getting the same responce everytime I've been in there....mostly it has been in the morning from about 9 am give or take to about 12 pm...with about 3 days or more in between my calling and in different locations around this little valley.....i get the same results a lot of barks coming to my call but they are hanging up just out of sight except for today this yote showed it's self for a second and it was dark to the point of black i believe....gonna change my calling time for the next couple of times to the last 3 or 4 hours of the day gonna try sneaking in close and sitting for 45 min to a hour before i start calling...
I'm using a good cover sent and I'm keeping the wind in my favor the best i can but i am limited in visibility because I'm in the woods with very little open ground....
any suggestions on getting these yotes in a little closer....
thanks and good hunting to all

When they start to bark at you.. Hit them with about a good solid  minute of the coyote pup..Then stay silent for about 8 minutes..
It could be your cover scent too.. Many of us no longer use cover scent.  Me personally I put an object on the side I am calling so they have to make their arc to come into the wind on the other side.  Maybe a barn, house, equipment. stream, big rocks.  See I do understand that it could be your hunting in the boonies and you don't have things in fields to use to make them come in from other sides.  More and more I have seen coyotes coming in also not on the down wind side.. I have seen them coming in to the call taking the least resistance.. In many cases the county roads itself..  They also will Flank you from the sides.. Your looking down wind and there they are staring at you from the sides..

Black coyotes nice trophies... I have called in black coyotes in Clearfield/Centre county area and saw one run cross the road right in front of the NE Pa Turn Pike Exchange at Bear Creek..

How long are you doing the actual calls?  Are you leaving big gaps of silence in between?

hey uncle buck...
I'm not stopping if I'm using one sound one my fox pro but if i change to a different sound i take a 3 to 5 min break and then start calling again.....the other thing is i just got my fox pro up dated from a fx3 to a fx5 and I'm still getting used to the new remote....I'm gonna take a break from this area for a couple of days and hunt a farm on the pa/Ohio border for a couple days and then go back to the game lands for the last couple of hours of the day and see if i can get them to come in.....
