Coyote Hunting open ground next to an active ranch house presented some challenges to Lance Benson. Uriah Wurst and Lance have seen coyotes in some heavy willows next to a pond on several occasions. They dismissed the site as a good coyote calling location because of the flat open ground. The coyotes had exceptional cover and also had a great location to watch human movements.
This is probably the reason there has always been multiple coyotes spotted at this location. Lance had been analyzing the spot for a long time and thought it was time to go for broke. Uriah was game to film it so the Bucking The Odds crew was off on another attempt to get a coyote hunt on film. The coyotes come to the call hard and Lance chooses the Benelli Super Black Eagle II to take out the first coyote. The coyotes hit the skids early and leave Lance in a compromising position. Watch as Lance struggles to get a coyote and Uriah struggles to film through the confusion of three coyotes coming to the call.
Good Luck on all your future coyote hunts!
Nice video guys with some real key points in it for people to learn from .
coyote hunting can be very hard to film some times espeaically when your alone
I am a newly self professed coyote hunter. I have become more of a varmint hunter than anything else I have ever hunted before. I am good as far as equipment goes, now all I need is trigger time and experience. I have heard that a set is only good for about 15 to 30 min. If you dont get anything in by that time then you probably wont. Is that true or what is your opinion. If you move to another location during a hunt, how far should you move to have a new set. I have several medium size properties to hunt. I was wondering when you get busted or get nothing, how far should you go to try to have another set so your not too close to where you were just at ? Thanks, any info would be helpful.
Hey Scott,
Ive been predator calling for many years, and as far as my experiances go, 15 minutes is usually about the max that I will stay a one stand location. I know that coyotes can come in after 15 minutes, but ive found that 95% of them will be there within 15 minutes, so that is usually my cut off time. Most of the time, the average coyote that comes in is there in less than 8 minutes or so……..Depending on the location and lay of the land you hunt, distance between stands can vary a great deal. Sometimes, all you have to do is move over one ridge, if the setup will allow. If you can move one ridge and greatly increase the call distance, then sometimes that is all you have to do. Other times Ill will move as much as .5 miles to 1 miles…..It honestly just depends on the lay of the land. Ive moved one ridge and called in coyotes, and ive moved .5 mile and called in coyotes. Each situation is different so that is a tough question to answer. Just look at the land, and the distance that the call can be heard in that particular situation…….This is all based on my experiances, I dont claim to be the best, I just know what Ive experianced in the field. I hope this helps a lil bit, and good luck…….. Josh
Where did you get the stand for your Mojo Critter? The area in which I hunt can have some extremely hard ground a stand like that would come in real handy.
I got mine from a buddie that had bought some cheap spotting scopes and they work fine.It seems that most of them have the same threads as the ones on the mojo.Good luck.
Really enjoy these videos. Hoping to get out soon.!!
Keep them coming!!!
GREAT Videos. The BTO sight is great. Helpful tips and info that we can us for on hunting areas. We may have to modify or change up somethings, but hey keep them coming. I do commend you guys for having a clean, professional, top notch sight. It is worth watching because you keep it clean and the whole family can watch it. One question though , what to you guys do with the coyote after the kill? If there is one negative to BTO it is I don’t have enough videos to watch. Keep up the great job guys. Remeber we can give our sport HUNTING a good name or bad. Thanks again Sammy
Great Videos Guys , My name is Robert I Live in the southern part of Utah By AZ and Nevada border I have been after coyotes for quite some time now hunting in all the wrong places im guessing . I made a trip to Az with a buddy to call on some private property up there all i can say right place at the right time of year had a double come into range about two hundred yards out , sadly enough to say i missed my gun wasnt zeroed right so i went clean over the coyote i havent been back to the area to give them time to calm down , there is a breeding population in the area i have taken the time to re zero my Savage 223 to a 3 shot group of zero at 50 yards . I hand load all my own shells so that i can get max loads and respectable range out of it . I hunt a few miles out side of town and have hawled a few times to try to locate them and that seems to work ok at night but during the day i want to hunt more and try to get better results for me . I plan on making another stand this winter or fall back on private property in AZ , I’m mainly using hand calls to hunt with i hawll lots and use a few distressed animal calls as i do
I typically like to sit under a cedar tree as my back drop and try to conceal my self as well as i can that way any help would be nice as to help me call more coyotes in thank you Robert Kearl
When are you going to get a semiauto like an accurized mini-14 or an AR-15 so you can flail away at those running ‘yotes that are missed on the first shot? I’ve hit them in full gallop quite a ways out especially when they run straight away or at a straight angle. When you have a multiple response (2 or more coyotes) coming in the firepower can get you more dogs.
The Benelli MR1 that we use is a semi auto. It is fun to shoot and you can make some great follow up shots. On this hunt I got caught up in the moment and decided that I would go with the shotgun, since the coyotes were coming in hard. At the last moment they held up and left me trying to make a longer shot than I would of liked to have taken. I ended up stopping the coyote with the MR1 but unfortunately couldn’t get a good shot at the other two coyotes. You just never know how a hunt is going to turn out. That’s what makes it so much fun.
