Can you hunt coyote with a bow?

Hunting coyotes with a bow (heck, any weapon) is a difficult challenge. However, the reward is so worth it. To match wits with these cagy animals, and beat them on their own terms is something to be proud of because not many hunters achieve such a goal with archery equipment.

Where do you aim a coyote with a bow?

The heart and lungs are tucked in right behind the shoulder joint on a coyote. Placing the shot through the shoulder joint provides a quick clean kill. If you’re not sure, follow the front leg up to center mass on the coyote. This will put you on target.

What is the best way to hunt coyotes?

When hunting coyotes you can use electronic calls, diaphragm calls, prey distress reed calls, and coyote imitation calls. Many predator hunters have their favorites, but most use multiple styles of calling. The most important takeaway is to learn how to use the call well, so coyotes don’t become educated on the sound.

What shot size for coyote?

Number 4 buckshot is my favorite shot size for coyotes because it has a good combination of inertia and pattern density. This load from Hornady contains 24 lead, 0.24 caliber pellets. They hold up well in the wind compared to smaller shot, and have enough weight to penetrate at some distance.

Is it better to hunt coyotes in the morning or evening?

Early Morning: If you want to be successful, you need to hunt early in the morning! This should go without saying, but animals are most active in the early morning and late evening. Coyotes will respond to a siren or howl and I start a lot of my pre-sunrise stands with a interrogation howl, group howl, or locator.
