Those are great tips. I can think of specific instances when I have made all those mistakes. The hardest one for me is being ready all the time especially when I have had a day of dry stands. I have had coyotes come in and I either couldn't maneuver or I wasn't set up right to make the shots. Hunting the wind is hard sometimes when I am hunting public land where access is limited. As the summer closes out I need to get out the centerfire. I shoot a bunch of ground squirrels in the summer so I keep a gun in my hands most of the year but a .22lr isn't the same to shoot as the .22-250.
Jon, you are so right. The biggest variable in shooting is the wind. I owned and operated "Central Virginia Tactical", for 45 yrs & folks came here from all over the world to learn wind drift. Wind drift is well over 100 yrs old and deadly accurate. Military, Law Enforcement all the 3 letter folks before things got stupid. Across the pond (the mother country). Folks learn wind drift and Coyotes, ground hogs and most anything that moves won't stand a chance. God Bless y'all, flea
yep,,,, 3 of many----Say,Jon, I'm heading to 4000' juniper/sage north eastern California early SEPTEMBER----what are 4 or 5 sounds your expertise would suggest might be affective----love my Foxpro Fusion!!!
Female Sore Howls, MFK Boone Whine Howls, Pup Distress #3, MFK Pound Town, and Mrs. McCottontail should all be money. Let us know how you do. Good luck!
Wind, Wind, Wind...... don't even try unless you have the wind in your favor! I've found my deer hunting success has improved since starting coyote hunting because I'm so much more conscious of wind strength and direction.
Thanks for good information! Watching you when I can't get out there reminds me how much I love it. I have and X24, and I call coyotes. I set on stand atleast 30 min, last night an hr. The coyotes consistently show up after I leave and howl near where I was! Is it because they came so far or that they don't move in bright daylight? Any advice is appreciated.
Good stuff! Especially the advice to practice. Given the price and availability of ammo ... practice is suffering for most of us. I try to make the most with the least you might say. I only shoot from a bench these days to check zero. Any practice I do is from my shooting position with tripod or bipod sticks. I night hunt usually four times a week for hogs and occasionally get a coyote. But sometimes only get to pull a trigger while hunting once in a week. And pulling a trigger that seldom is not enough to analyze yourself. You just know when you miss that 'something' was wrong. Sitting down calmly at your range and really analyzing what you are doing is the best way to judge yourself.
So I am wanting to buy a fox pro and I can't decide from the x24 or x2s. The thing with the x2s is it can play two sounds at once but the x24 sounds better.
Both are great units, and you really can’t go wrong with either. The X2S can play 2 sounds at once and has Bluetooth capabilities. The X24 can only play one sound at a time, but has 24 bit audio output. The X24 is the only unit currently produced that can do that.
@@doitalloutdoors648 You don't need to ever play 2 sounds at once. Its almost too much imo. Go with the x24 its the gold standard. Perfect all around caller.
@@usernamehere6061 you are exactly right. X24 all the way. 2 sounds at once is almost useless. I’ve gotten 2 triples in the last 2 days using my MFK loaded x24. Works great and good distance with remote too.
Wind is 100% of the stand. I called some coyotes in last night wind was perfect. When they finally come in the wind died down and thermals pulled my scent down in Gulley. They come in I watched them 5 seconds in Gulley before I could go into gun scope they was gone. I have killed 29 since January and they still make me look stupid.
@@FOXPROINC love yalls videos. I record my kills on my pulsar. I have thought about creating a you tube channel. I hunt everything that has a season. Is it hard to upload videos?
@@justinsigmon1878new hunter here I understand the concept of wind( kinda) what of your hunting a new spot and don’t know where the yotes are gonna come from how do you play the wind?
number 4...contain your excitement and don't talk to your camera or a buddy with your mouth or your hands after you pull the trigger on the 1st coyote....keep on playing the call and wait until you are sure you are done with your setup. Save the conversation for after you leave the setup and don't educate any coyotes that are in the area!
@@FOXPROINC I watch them all....and you can increase the number of instances of doubles and triples if you follow my suggestion....and when you have shot 5 in one setup than we can chat :) PS, would have been six but my bolt gun only holds 5 rounds and my ammo was in a box. Lesson learned.
