with dogs or without?

well im trying to with but if u do with out ok to

With dogs: Contact your local fox hunter, or deer hunter who uses dogs. many deer hound (fox walkers, lemons, etc) were trained in a fox pen, some of those were trained on yotes (this is a generalization). Several of the folks Ive deer hunted with in the past have had a dog or two who would perfer to run a yote over anything. Its become quite popular down east as ther is no season on coyotes in NC. Main thing is to just ask around your local hunters and find some dogs, or cross train some off of deer or fox.

Without dogs: plenty of ways to do this. I have had a big problem with them on my farm in Orange county as well as clubs Ive hunted down east. stale, stinky rotten meat seems to work well rigth about dusk or "shortly after sunset with adequite lighting." As of right now it is illegal to yote hunt at night with or without lights. I do "know some folks" that say that hunting them at night over bait is alomost too easy. I haven't tried doing the whole calling gig like you see on tv and youtube but some say it works pretty well in the daytime. real bait is always a super help for yotes, shoot every one of them.

In addition please call the NC wildlife resources commission and you local state legislature representatives and ask them to approve measures to allow coyote hunting with lights at night. the WRC has presented this to the General assembly several tiems and it always gets shot down, they think that if they approve the measure ppl will be spot lighting deer all the time. This needs to pass to effectively manage yotes.

Be glad to help or provide more information if you need/want.

Happy Hunting,

Chuck
