I have coyote hunted since I was in grad school and old enough to carry a gun. A: it was a way to get me out of the house. B: it was a way to hunt a little longer, so over the years I have gotten impatient and more patiente and never really timed my self until this year when I started shooting dogs in OK I noticed that they come in a little slower around the cities and a lot faster out about an hour... near the city the last yote I shot it was an hour and a half, after my last call and in the country, I only wait about 20 to 30 minuets.... So how long do all of you wait????

Howler

rarely over 15 minutes!

It wasn't until recently that I purchased a wrist watch so that I could time how long I called at a spot. Everytime that I had the watch with me, it seemed like I had a coyote show up within a few minutes. The times that I forgot to take the watch with me, it either felt like a long time or I got tired of sitting in that spot and gave up (what felt to me as being) too soon.

Last weekend I had the watch with me. I called one spot for 15 minutes and was done with it. But, I decided to just lay back and enjoy a smoke. About half way though the cig a coyote showed up.

About a month ago I called for over an hour at night to finally get a set of eyes close enough to see what it was. When I finally determined it was a bobcat, I didn't want to shoot it with my .243 and blow it up so I spent another 30 minutes or so trying to get it into shotgun range.

There will be times that calling longer is needed. I would have to say that 95% of my sets don't last more than 15 minutes though.

with all the people that hunt yotes no else but us notices how long we wait....
thanks for the input fellas...great to know I wait way long..

bhw

depends on the spot for me. If it is a more suburban location, no more than 20 minutes. If it's a big rural farm, 1/2 hour minimum
