\"Prepping<\/a>If you\u2019re anything like me, the late summer months are filled with frequent amounts of daydreaming about the upcoming months of early mornings, cold fingers and hard-charging coyotes! Amid the daydreaming, l work through the process of preparation, planning, and practice.\u00a0 Executing this process with efficiency and attentiveness will often be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful season of stacking fur. \u00a0Throughout this article, I\u2019ll touch on several key points in relation to this process. I\u2019ll discuss how I use my time now to prepare, plan and practice for a winning season of calling and (hopefully) shooting coyotes!<\/p>\n

Many important pieces of the coyote calling equation don\u2019t involve the equipment you use.\u00a0 Important pieces like understanding coyote behavior, understanding the coyote life-cycle and approaching and setting up stands are just a few.\u00a0 But if you want the answer of the coyote calling equation to equal a dead coyote, the only way to do so is by inserting an equal sign in the form of a well-placed shot.\u00a0 Although small in relation to the overall process, preparing and practicing with your equipment is a vital part of being successful.\u00a0 Having confidence in both yourself and your rifle is the key.\u00a0 Building that confidence is where preparation and practice come into play.<\/p>\n

Rifle Practice<\/h2>\n

I could fill up multiple articles talking about all of the various rifle models, calibers and ammunition<\/a> choices available to coyote hunters today. \u00a0But for the sake of time and the focus of this article, let\u2019s discuss practicing with your rifle<\/a> in a manner that will prepare you for the variety of shots you\u2019ll encounter from stand to stand this season.<\/p>\n

\"Prepping<\/a>

The author discussing the proper way to maneuver the rifle and the shooter’s body before targets are engaged during the drill.<\/p><\/div>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve experimented with various shooting positions and shooting supports. 20 years later, I\u2019ve settled in on the sitting position with a versatile bipod attached to my rifle for support. \u00a0In general, the sitting position offers the best mix of shooting stability and maneuverability.\u00a0 With the help from an exceptional shooting support like the Swagger bipod, I\u2019m able to make more than 120-degree adjustments to my shooting position in a variety of terrain and slopes.\u00a0 Getting comfortable in this position and being able to pick up my rifle and swing left or right in a smooth motion is where practice comes into play. Killing coyotes consistently boils down to being able to adjust your shooting position quickly while taking enough time to control your breathing and focus on the crosshairs. The only way to control the urge to panic and avoid rushing the shot is through practice.<\/p>\n

The Drill<\/h2>\n

In order to gain familiarity with my rifle and to increase my effectiveness of putting well-placed shots on target in a timely manner, this is my go-to drill.\u00a0 First, I\u2019ll scatter a handful of six-inch targets at distances from 75 to 200 yards across the entire width of my shooting area. \u00a0Great target ideas include spray-painted dessert paper plates stapled onto marking stakes, clay targets on a dirt berm, or small balloons hooked through the nocks of arrows that are stuck into the ground.\u00a0 The six-inch size will simulate the kill zone of a coyote.<\/p>\n

I then take up a sitting position with visibility of all of the targets.\u00a0 After adjusting the Swagger bipod to the proper height, I\u2019ll shoulder my rifle and orientate it to the center of the target area.\u00a0 Next, I will identify a target. Slowly and smoothly, I\u2019ll practice moving my rifle and\/or my body until I\u2019m squared up behind the rifle and in line with the target. Once the target is centered in the crosshairs, I\u2019ll focus on my breathing, squeeze the trigger and watch the target \u201cdie\u201d in the scope. I will then orientate my rifle and\/or body back to the center of my target area and repeat the process until all of the targets have been engaged.<\/p>\n

\"Prepping<\/a>

Having confidence in your rifle is the first step in consistently making well-placed shots on coyotes.<\/p><\/div>\n

For every box of ammunition I shoot during practice, 6 rounds will be off of the bench to verify the zero of my rifle and the remaining 14 will be spent on this drill. Shooting off of the bench builds confidence in my rifle, shooting from my coyote hunting position builds confidence in myself. One of the worst feelings in coyote hunting is doing everything right and calling in a coyote that presents you with a great shot, followed by a miss because you failed to spend an adequate amount of time practicing and preparing for the real deal!<\/p>\n

The Plan of Attack\"Prepping<\/a><\/h2>\n

Another important yet often overlooked element of the pre-season planning process is laying out a game plan for hunting the areas you have access to. Essentially, this means putting together a schedule based off of the number of areas you have to hunt and the number of days you\u2019ll plan on calling coyotes throughout the season.\u00a0 This will serve several purposes.\u00a0 First, it will ensure you are not over hunting your areas or putting excessive pressure on the coyotes.\u00a0 This can lead to much tougher calling conditions if you constantly have to go back and hunt the same place week after week due to a lack of options.<\/p>\n

Second, scheduling when you\u2019ll hunt areas throughout the season will allow for the highest amount of success during the entire length of your season, not just early on. Make assumptions as to what areas should have the best calling conditions and what areas won\u2019t.\u00a0 Focus primarily on how much pressure each of the areas will get from other hunters and put forth a plan to call the most pressured areas early in the season and save the less pressured areas for later in the season.<\/p>\n

Last, putting together a schedule will give you a good idea of how much time you should spend right now scouting and lining up new areas to hunt. Plan on having at least as many areas to hunt as the number of days you plan to hunt each month.\u00a0 If you have less, it\u2019s time to make an early-season road trip and spend a day or two knocking on doors and\/or scouting out new areas to call. There is no such thing as having too many options or places to call coyotes!<\/p>\n

When laying out your schedule, I use the general guideline of waiting at least four weeks before going back and calling an area. Keep in mind there is a multitude of different variables and factors that affect this wait time and each area and situation can vary greatly. Factors such as time of year, pressure from other sources, weather conditions, coyote densities in the surrounding area, extra food sources in the area, results from the previous time calling in that area and even the time of day that area was last hunted can shorten or lengthen the wait time. Using a four-week time frame in conjunction with the areas you have available to hunt, will lead to a well thought out and a more productive schedule for the entire season!<\/p>\n

\"Prepping<\/a>

Consistently having success throughout the season starts with preparation, planning & practice.<\/p><\/div>\n

Spending the appropriate amount of time preparing, planning, and practicing is an essential part of having a successful season. Being able to execute well-placed shots under the stress of fast-paced calling action can only be accomplished through practice and by gaining confidence in your rifle and your abilities.\u00a0 Putting together a schedule for calling areas you have access to will afford you the best opportunity to call and kill coyotes from the beginning of the season through the end. \u00a0Efficiently executing these two tasks will ultimately make you a more consistent killer of coyotes.\u00a0 And as I\u2019ve discovered over the years, consistency is what separates good coyote hunters from great coyote hunters!<\/p>\n

His addiction for calling coyotes started more than 23 years ago. Today Geoff is regarded by most in the industry as a leading expert on modern coyote hunting tactics such as using electronic calls, shooting AR15s and hunting suppressed. Geoff is the host of the popular Coyote Craze DVD series and also co-hosts a web series called The Last Stand. In 2014, Geoff and his partner, Layne Bangerter, won the World Championship Coyote Calling Contest in Williams, AZ. Then again in 2015, Geoff and partner Dustin Patterson were able to defend the title in Kingman, AZ and bring home the crown! If Geoff isn\u2019t traveling the country competing in contests and filming hunts, there\u2019s a good chance you will find him giving seminars at the International Sportsman\u2019s Expo which puts on the largest outdoor sports show in the West. Geoff has the privilege of teaching new coyote hunters his tricks of the trade while conducting classes at the only predator hunting instructional school in the country, Coyote Craze College. Geoff is a former Marine and has 3 boys, Creighton, Carver & Colten. Being able to share his love for the outdoors with them has been an extremely rewarding experience!
