For years now I've only been a target shooter and occasional bunny hunter, but I think I want to step it up a little. I have never shot a Coyote and it looks like fun.
I've got the camo, the call, and a nice Ak-47 variant with a multi-reticle holographic red-dot sight for quick target aquisition. 7.62 x 39 is a great varmint round and I know I could put the hurt on some mangy Coyotes. I'd prefer a better rifle for long range like the 22- 250 or such, but that's not available to me at the moment in light of school purchases and bills.
I tried last year down by Tooele and saw one Coyote, but it was in a hurry and was gone in a flash. I would really like to know where a good place would be to set up and call some in. The DWR is stil encouraging people to harvest Coyotes since they are overpopulated in many areas and are competing with fragile Kit Fox populations. I live in the Salt Lake valley, so it would be preferable to find a good area close, but anywhere in the state is an option.
Can ayone steer me in the right direction? Any tips or tricks? I'm totally new to this.
