Hey folks,
I'm heading out for some coyote hunts in Ohio in about a month; my extended family owns and farms several thousand acres of land in total between Dayton and Washington Courthouse. We've gone out a number of times in the past year or two on dedicated coyote hunts with no luck. We usually post on a tree-line, overlooking fields, or sometimes from tree stands. We haven't had much luck seeing them in the spring, but we sure hear them howl and bark at night. Usually they're running abundantly in the fall going after deer. Anyone hunt this region and have advice they can offer? None of us are particularly experienced hunters; we do deer drives in the fall, and I stand-hunt in upstate NY with the inlaws when time allows, but I must admit we've not taken any deer. I've been reading that sight seems just as important as smell, so our going plan is bait pile, electronic call, and stalk in early in the morning and lay low and quiet. Any thoughts?
