Grasslands are a waste of time. You really need to go knock on some doors. My best spot is on a farm by a huge sheep ranch and a one of the city's dumps. The yotes have a highway leading to the sheep farm and the dump. Easy pickins...
 
Re: Colorado coyotes.

If you're up for traveling there are quite a few ranches down by the New Mexico border that have coyotes. The foothills down by Trinidad have some as well.
 
Re: Colorado coyotes.

Get away from civilization and find a rancher/farmer. Ask and most will let you go. Go East past Deer Trail at least, maybe farther as Denver continues to grow.
 
Re: Colorado coyotes.

I've had good luck in the National Forest around the Tarryall mountains. You'll find that this time of the year the coyotes are all pretty smart. The Grasslands coyotes get a lot of pressure and are probably running in the other direction when they hear a distress call. Stick to howling and giving each stand more time. Good luck.

Couple of jackrabbit squeals every five or so mins and a few mouse chirps if you see one. I don't call much though because I set up on a highway of yotes heading to and from the dump/sheep farm so just waiting with no calls works.

You're welcome anytime bud. Just let me know a few days in advance so I can tell the rancher who owns the land we're coming.

Re: Colorado coyotes.

I read a post that says the grasslands are a waste of time. No that's not true. You just need to know where to go. I travel out east of Nunn, CO and have really good luck. Yes, if you find a large p-dog town....there's most likely yotes in the area. Another area you can try is in the Poudre Canyon northwest of Ft. Collins. Not only are there yotes but a healthy bobcat population.
 
Re: Colorado coyotes.

I think there are probably alot of good areas in Wyoming, but I have some family around the Gillette area and there is never any shortage of dogs around there, just gotta make sure you get some good maps of where the public lands are, there is a ton of private ground that is tough to get on. The antelope are thick up there too and the ranchers suppliment their income by charging people to hunt it, so it can be difficult to gain access.
 
Re: Colorado coyotes.

Some big ass mulies up there too! I have seen some of the biggest bucks I have ever seen on Highway 50 between Casper and Gillette! I went up in late July, early august for a rifle match up there and driving that road late at night I could not believe the quality and quantity of huge bucks that I saw!!!

Kind of off the topic, but I couldn't help it...those were some big bucks
