I have heard some say that it is because coyotes are afraid of their own shadows at night under a full moon. So, don’t ask me to produce the proof.Īnother corollary, I think is that calling, all things being equal, is a little better during both sides of a full moon. I also think that daytime calling during a new moon is somewhat retarded, and damned if I know why but I’m just basing it on 50+ years of casual observation. I think the night hunting is best under a new moon. as far as the moon phase argument goes, that’s a little complicated.
Also, I have always felt that the best calling of the entire year is September and October.īut, another thing. But when I consider the northern aspects, that’s what I see. Well, not totally, because I hunt way north and way south, as well.
I don’t have a lot to add because that matches my experience pretty well Dave, and we hunt the same areas. So I’d like to get your thoughts on my theories and opinions about the lull that many callers see starting around New Years. Okay, one should never say never, with coyotes. But I have never seen voclas work anywhere even close to as good this time of year as rabbit does before Christmas. This pair wasn’t interested in any prey distress and would only look up for vocalizations, they wouldn’t even stand up for any sound I triedĪnd on top of all that… Mating and breeding season takes a lot of attention, energy and time for some of the coyotes.

The weekend after Christmas, in the valleys just west of Salt Lake there are comical numbers of guys out calling and a lot of them appear to have no experience or knowledge of how to do it.Īnd, last but not least, the contests get going full strength once big game seasons are done too.Īdd it all up, you got a lot more guys hunting a lot fewer but more educated coyotes. Many of them are on Christmas vacation and have time to get out.
And… All the new callers and rifles and stuff guys get for Christmas, it’s real. Many of these callers are busy with big game hunts earlier in the year and are just getting their attention turned to calling around Christmas. There are more callers and more calling pressure being put on the coyotes around New Years than any other time of year. In my area there is always a fresh influx of callers right after Christmas too. You have a higher percentage of the remaining coyotes recently experiencing hunting pressure and exposed to calling than any other time of the year. So, my theory is, there are fewer coyotes than any other time of the year. My opinion, the two biggest factors are that the coyote population is near its annual low and there isn’t a coyote still alive in my area that hasn’t been called already by the week after Christmas. My thoughts are that it’s caused by a combination of factors at work. I’m not sure when it normally ends as I typically am done calling for the year by mid Feb. This lull in calling success starts right after Christmas and goes all through Jan. Scott and Leonard, I’d like to get your take on the big slow down in calling that happens every year in my area. 220 Redline fame, actually got this one started. So, here’s a conversation with Scott and Leonard, discussing the fact that the calling always gets slow this time of year and what if anything you can do about it.

Scott Huber, you should know from his previous contributions here at – he’s been a professional coyote man for decades and his insights and observations never fail to arouse interest and cause us to think. Guys that don’t post very often, but when they do, it’s usually on huntmasters and it’s usually worth paying attention to! Leonard himself is an extremely accomplished predator hunter with 50 years of experience with most of it being at night. His forum is frequented by some of the most experienced and successful predator callers in the nation. This conversation took place recently on my friend Leonard’s predator hunting forum at.
