Im trying to start to trap and snar, but mostly snare. im new to this but the coyote population on my 1200 acre property is getting out of control. I was just bwondering if anyone can tell me how to find the trails the coyotes use so i know where to set my snares. im pretty good at setting and hiding a snare but i just need to learn to find the signs of where they are. Do they use Deer paths? If anyone has an answer please email me at gla1189@yahoo.com and under subject please put coyote trap. thank you for anyone who can help me. I have found 4 dead deer whithin a month and im an avid rabbit hunter and i can definatley tell a decrease in their population.

I am a huge hunter been in the woods sense I could walk with my Dad, Grandpa, Uncles you might say its a family tradition I hunt it all and out of everything I would say I enjoy coyote hunting the most dont get me wrong dropping a big buck is a rush plus fills the freezer but when it comes to coyote hunting nothing can touch it for one your out there hunting a preditor and truley if wanted could pack up and hunt you and in a way is I live in lower michigan myself and we have quite a few coyote not as much as a freind of mines property up north but 3 to 5 a day is about average for here as I sit in my deer blind or stand in late deer season towards the end of the day they just start yappin and howlin so of course it runs deep so I start howling back and numerous times have howled in 2,3,4 or 5 its great cause ill sit and watch them just think that if they only knew that in a week or so they will meet the buisness end of my 223 the hunter has now been scouted and become the hunted

Hi Dan,

Those are some great deer hunting tips, but you do realize we’re talking about coyote hunting, right?

Hi, Do you know anyone who sells American Staghounds in any state? Looking for companion (not working) dog in California and finding it hard to locate this type of dog.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Here is a link to a video that will show most of the tactics and use of walkers. This is a group of very good and dedicated hunters.

In the mornings you should definitely hunt in after them as they will be heading to a day time bedding area. Hopefully it’s not so thick that you have to crawl. A red deer will take the easiest route so stay on the deer trails. Wind in your face, take a few paces, stop look listen, then a few more paces, stop look listen. Don’t bother tippy toeing through rubbish bush, but do sneak through the good stuff. Relax; I reckon deer can almost hear tension! Once you get comfortable in the scrub you will start to notice things of interest, like the deer that is standing still watching you long before you’ve seen it. Fresh wind falls are hot spots but they also mean hard travel so skirt around them with your eyes peeled. Humans naturally head towards the light, in most bush this is a bad move as most of the time the open canopy will most probably mean thick regeneration and old wind fall, not a nice grassy clearing. It is easier travel under the big tree canopy. When climbing or descending bush covered hills stay on the spurs/ridges and poke off either edge for a look here and there especially if there is a nice deer trail and fresh sign. The little creek heads on the sides of the hill are day timehot spots, so are scrubby fringes of slips. Deer don’t often seem to bed down right next to grassy creek flats where they might feed at night, possibly because that is where most hunters look for them? They tend to move about 3/4 up the hill for the day. Here are some wind tips…. walk along any stream and watch the water, when water flows out of a narrow channel and into a wider pool the edges of the top end of the pool have the water flowing upstream and cycling back into the main current (eddy). Wind does the same thing in the hills; the leeward side of a hill will have a wind eddy. You can avoid the eddy by moving back to the main wind current; towards the centre of the valley or up the side of the hill. In calm weather wind will flow down in the early mornings and up after the sun hits the valley floor (late morning). Warm air rises (anabatic wind). The wind will turn down again after the sun leaves the hills, sometimes not until the last hour of the day when it cools off (katabatic). So don’t go for an evening hunt too early or the wind change will catch you out. You can use the anabatic/katabatic winds to plan your whole day of hunting by circling through different country after the wind change.

Choose a bullet that will expand quickly upon impact. You want the bullet to dump most of its energy into the animal. You do not want a bullet that completely flies to pieces upon impact, but one that releases enough energy or mushrooms efficiently to get the job done. You need to shoot several different brands of bullets through your rifle to determine the one that is the most accurate with your gun. For example a Winchester bullet may shoot different than a Remington or Federal bullet.
