\"October<\/a>

With mild weather and high populations of callable coyotes, October is the best time to get kids out and involved!<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re reading this, there\u2019s a good chance October is your favorite month of the year. The temps are dropping, football is in full swing and hunting seasons are opening up all over the country! Whether it\u2019s chasing bugling bulls in the high country, stalking speed goats on the prairie, or waiting on a whitetail to pass under your tree, October is full of prime opportunities in the hunting world.\u00a0 Although calling coyotes may not be high on the priority list of most hunters in October, taking advantage of primetime conditions during the early months of fall can lead to some of the best coyote-calling action of the season! Throughout this article, I\u2019ll discuss the coyote life-cycle and how it relates to early season calling, the relationship between coyote populations and hunting pressure throughout the year, and how these coyote characteristics affect the early season approach to calling coyotes.<\/p>\n

The Coyote Life-Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to understand why coyote hunting opportunities are normally the best during early fall, we must take a look at the specific section of the coyote life-cycle from April to October.\u00a0\u00a0 Most coyote pups are born across the country around the 1st<\/sup> part of April. Although only a certain percentage of the remaining coyote population in late winter is of breeding age, the coyotes that do pair up and breed have the unique ability to populate the landscape with large litters of pups when the conditions are right. Due to this adaptation, the general coyote population can double or triple within the first few weeks of April. At this point, the general population of coyotes will be at the highest point of the year. From this point forward, the overall population of coyotes will decrease at variable rates throughout the year until a new crop of coyotes is born the following April. As coyote hunters, we are not so much concerned about the highest population of coyotes but the highest population of callable coyotes. Each season, depending on a variety of factors, coyote pups may account for 50-70% of the coyotes in that area. \u00a0These coyote pups don\u2019t become callable coyotes until they are old enough to hunt and sustain life on their own. This transition normally takes place in October when the coyote pups reach 6 months of age.<\/p>\n

\"October<\/a>

Early season calling can often be your best chance of calling in multiple coyotes due to family groups that are still intact.<\/p><\/div>\n

This example will help illustrate the point.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say in February you have 30 coyotes in an area and 8 of the females pair up and breed.\u00a0 In April, those 8 females give birth to 70 coyote pups. At this point, the overall coyote population is 100 but only 30 of those are actual callable coyotes due to age. Throughout the summer months, 15 of the coyote pups and 5 adult coyotes die from various causes.\u00a0 By the first of October, there are now 80 coyotes in the area in which 25 are adults and 55 are young adults. The 55 young adults are now old enough to hunt and sustain life on their own. \u00a0If you were to go coyote hunting in this area in August or early September, there would only be 25 callable coyotes at your disposal.\u00a0 If you were to go coyote hunting in this area in October, you would now have 80 callable coyotes at your disposal! \u00a0Now keep in mind that this is a very simplified example to illustrate the point.\u00a0 In reality, there are many more factors that would influence the population during this time frame such as carrying capacity of the habitat, disease, drought, influx of new coyotes moving into the area, summer hunting pressure, etc.<\/p>\n

\"October<\/a>

Coyotes in October will respond better to prey distress sounds due to the lack of easy food sources once the weather changes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hunting Pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n

One other major factor that helps make October the best month to call coyotes is hunting<\/a> pressure or the lack thereof. Generally speaking, coyotes receive very little hunting pressure over the summer and early fall months. Hot weather, tall vegetation, standing crops, biting bugs, and the absence of prime fur are just a handful of reasons why many coyote hunters elect to put their efforts on hold.\u00a0 As various hunting seasons<\/a> start to open, pressure slowly increases as coyotes are taken primarily as targets of opportunity. This pressure will steadily build throughout the fall until it maxes out during the winter months when coyote hunters are out in full force.\u00a0 As the pressure on coyotes is increased, the ability to call those same coyotes is decreased.\u00a0 This increase in pressure essentially makes calling coyotes more difficult later in the season because the population of callable coyotes is on a fast decline. This decline is due to both mortality and pressure.\u00a0 By taking into consideration the sudden spike in the population of callable coyotes and the fact that hunting pressure is still minimal, you can begin to see why October can be the best month to call coyotes!<\/p>\n

\"October<\/a>

Keying on pup distress sounds early in the season can often lead to aggressive responses by mature coyotes!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a large population of callable coyotes scattered across the landscape, the odds are heavily in your favor that your setup will be within an earshot of one of these coyotes. However, this is only the beginning if you plan to capitalize on this opportunity. I could discuss important elements like getting into your stand undetected or setting up properly to give yourself the best chance of killing the approaching coyote. But for this article, let\u2019s focus on sound selections. From earlier in the article, we know that a majority of the coyotes in October are 6 months old.\u00a0 These young adults now have to feed themselves and with the weather changes brought on by fall, many of the easy food sources they have relied on are gone. These young coyotes have spent the last 6 months in a family group environment. But as time passes, many of them will scatter across the countryside in search of their own territory.\u00a0 These young coyotes will join the ranks of the transient coyote population. Some of the adult coyotes have also spent the last 6 months in these family groups and are now converting back to their solitary ways.\u00a0 When figuring out a sound sequence for early season, it\u2019s important to key on 3 areas.\u00a0 First, a large percentage of the coyote population is being forced to hunt a more calorie-rich diet of small mammals.\u00a0 Second, a large percentage of the coyote population has spent the last 6 months in a family group environment. Third, a large percentage of the coyote population consists of young adult coyotes transitioning across the landscape. With these 3 things in mind, settling in on a sound sequence that is heavy on prey distress and coyote-pup distress is optimal. Keeping the general feel for the sequence on the nonaggressive side for the early part of the stand is also important. For example, start the stand off with a rodent, bird or rabbit distress sound. After giving the prey distress sound a chance to produce a hunger response, move into a pup distress sound in hopes of triggering a response from a coyote more interested in coming to the rescue of their littermate or their pup. If the sequence fails to produce a coyote up to this point, move to a more aggressive sound like coyote fights or coyote vocals. This will occasionally produce an older, pressured coyote that got an early start on an education.<\/p>\n

Throughout this article, I\u2019ve discussed the coyote life-cycle and how it relates to early season calling, the relationship between coyote populations and hunting pressure throughout the year, and how these coyote characteristics affect the early season approach to calling coyotes. All of these variables play an important role in why calling coyotes in October can be some of the best action a hunter will experience all season. There\u2019s no such thing as a bad time to call coyotes.\u00a0 But if you really want to set yourself up for a chance at an incredible hunt, calling coyotes during primetime conditions in October is your best bet!<\/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!
