Coyote Hunting Tip: Always be on the lookout for coyote lovers and those who would love to do any hunter harm. NEVER threaten an anti or anyone who attempts to interrupt your hunt. Leave your rifle aside, and dial 911. They will be the ones going to jail or receiving a fine. Be the bigger man. At the same time, I always recommend carrying a sidearm for defense. You never know what you will run into out there, but again -- NEVER threaten a person who attempts to interfere with your hunt.

Coyote Hunting Tip: Always represent our sport in the best light possible. Don't leave your harvest in a place where the public can see it. Don't hang animals on fences. Most ranchers won't appreciate the repairs that will be needed from the rust that you created. Don't leave trash on the property. Be good stewards of the land that you use. When night hunting, don't shoot at eyeballs. Always ID your target -- you never know what endangered species might be in your crosshairs. Always have a backstop. I know some of this sounds basic, but it's astonishing how many idiots we have among us. Please don't be one of them. They are ruining hunting for all.

Coyote hunting tip: Please make sure you use the correct caliber to humanely put down your quarry without maiming or injuring with no recovery.

Chris you hit it right on the nose. That is where we as hunters run into issues. Too many our irresponsible and too lazy to clean up after themselves and be good stewards to the land. That is why it is becoming harder and harder to find private land to hunt. I always pick up all trash I see and try to leave the place in better shape than I found it.

coyote tip # 245 After you have walked all the way to the truck and forgotten your caller sitting in some sage brush, bring the remote with you so you can turn it on and find it .

coyote tip #246 Bring your camera on your hunts no matter what, you never know when a 500yd walk will turn into a 2 miler, you will wish you had that camera

[singlesix]

coyote tip 247 When taking someone to hunt coytes that has never been, its a good idea to tell them ahead of time not to shave (scented shaving cream) have deodorant on, or smell funky.

[singlesix]

coyote tip #248 This is one i have the most trouble following, after you shoot the coyote remain on the stand for at least another 10 minutes and see if you can draw in another customer. They do come in twos, and alot of times you just dont see number 2, wait and callem back in
