When most big game seasons are closed there is still a thrilling
hunting opportunity to be had. Join us on an exciting, action packed
winter coyote hunt. Using a variety of attractor calls we will lure
these wary animals into shooting distance of our ambush.
This hunt takes place from December through March when these big
Alberta coyotes have their heaviest winter fur. We will hunt prime
areas in the foothills and prairies where there is an extremely
dense population of these cagey predators.
Most of the shooting opportunities will be at less than one hundred
and fifity yards but there is a possibility of a long range shot
when a coyote hangs up and cannot be quaxed into close range. Many
set ups will produce multiple coyotes which greatly adds to the
intensity of the hunt. A flat shooting rifle in smaller calibers
like a .220, .222, .223, or .22-250 are perfect for coyotes and
their bullets do minimal damage to the hides.
There are some essential items the coyote hunter must have to optimize
his success. Full camoflage including head and hands is critical
to fool the sharp eyesight of the coyote. Light colored patterns
like Open Country or Prairie Ghost work perfect in this terrain.
Snow camo, either all white or with a pattern may also be needed
as the weather may change at any moment during this time of year.
A turkey lounger works the best while sitting at each set up. The
padded seat, backrest and small storage compartment is all the coyote
hunter needs.
This hunt is available in either
three or five day lengths with two hunter per guide. Having two
hunter at a set up works best to cover as many angles as possible,
one never really knows what direction a coyote will come from. So
give your hunting partner a call and come up and experience the
excitement of a winter coyote hunt!
