Anytime you see one. Unfortunately in NY there are season dates. Hopefully they change that soon.
every ones opinion varies, but for me its at night during the absolute coldest nights of the year...so january and february are usually my coyote months. anytime the temperature is under 10 degrees i head out, if theres a lot of snow even better. when its that cold animals gotta eat to live, makes them that much easier to call.
In the areas where I do my varminting (southern Oregon's high desert), late winter to the onset of spring seems a productive time, but their appearances in that area seem to taper off by August. We continue to see them, but not as regularly.
We set up a beat Piles with cheep cans of Dog Food and Hog guts, in Fl this is a good time of year they had there young, So let the Games begin Don't let them walk a way. This past weekend there 12 less on our lease.
I suppose it depends on where you hunt but for South Dakota my favorite time is early February. There is usually good snow cover so visibility is high. They are also quite active during the day because food is harder for them to find and mating season is beginning. They seem to respond to calls well during the day and of course you can drive around and see them from miles away. I especially like to hunt the full moon over new snow all night long. Visibility is good enough that no artificial light is required and they come to a call with reckless abandon in the middle of the night. That time of year, it is not unusual to see 20 in a pack attack your call.
Anytime you come across one.
This deer season I was glassing my field at twighlight, trying to grow horns on some does. Suddenly they all ran off. There was a coyote trotting into the field. That was a good time to hunt one....
Haha I'm with BioGuy and Red and everyone else, if I see one and its legal, I'll grease one in a heartbeat.
Heck, Ed; after you boys thin them out winter/spring there are fewer to see come fall! LOL
late winter earlly spring here in va
mid winter so the fur coat is good and thick
