So my FIL called me and said to head down to NC and do some coyote hunting next week. He's just south of the Uhwarrie Forest in a small town called Ellerbe.
He's never coyote hunted and neither have I. His excitement came from a recent article in their paper discussing the horrible coyote problem in his immediate area. He hears them often and *thinks* he's seen them on occasion. There is talk of a bounty being offered on them so he wants to get some insight - as do I.
He lives on ~100 acres with 15 acres in crop (soybean) and the rest in pines, hardwoods and trails. Rolling hills and a couple small streams occupy his property as well.
We hunt deer and turkey with great success but have never considered coyote since we don't actually see them.
We've got a borrowed PVS-14 and he says he's buying an electronic call - an ICOtec GC300 is what caught his eye.
Any general advice for two morons who have no idea what to expect? Call strategy? Dusk? Morning? Late night?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!
