You're Making These 7 Coyote Hunting Mistakes

Most coyote hunters burn their stands before a coyote ever shows up — and they don't even know why. In this video I walk through 7 common coyote hunting mistakes I see over and over, and exactly how to fix each one. Here's what we cover: Sky-lining yourself — position 10-15 yards down a hillside to break your silhouette Over-calling — the right sequence: short and low, pause, medium, pause, then full volume Leaving too early — stay 35 minutes minimum, coyotes often show at the 30-minute mark Ignoring wind — always hunt into the wind, place lure 100-120 yards out so they circle into your shot Shiny equipment — your rifle, watch, and sunglasses will burn you faster than your scent Not stopping the coyote — one sharp bark freezes a moving dog every time Wrong caliber expectations — why I run the .204 Ruger and when the .223 makes sense #coyotehunting #coyotehuntingtips #coyotehuntingmistakes If you're hunting predators on rural ground in Kansas or anywhere in the plains, these fixes will put more fur on the ground immediately. 🎯 Related: DIY Rifle Camo | .204 Ruger vs Soda Can 👇 WATCH THIS NEXT 🎨 How I Painted My Rifle for Just $25 (Don't let your gun shine!)    • This $25 camo paint job on my rifle stock ...   Video Chapters: 0:00 - Why you are missing coyotes 0:30 - Mistake #1: The "Kansas Silhouette" (Sky-lining) 1:45 - Mistake #2: The Wall of Sound (Over-Calling) 3:30 - Mistake #3: Leaving the stand too early 4:58 - Mistake #4: Ignoring the wind direction 6:30 - Mistake #5: The "Shiny Rifle" problem 7:36 - Mistake #6: Not stopping the dog (Moving shots) 8:19 - Mistake #7: Wrong caliber expectations (.204 Ruger) About This Video: Learning how to coyote hunt effectively takes time, but avoiding these specific setups will speed up your learning curve.
