Eastern Coyote Hunting: Send It! (DownWind Outdoors)

[vamuse172000]

@DownWindOutdoors What light do you guys use for night hunts without snow? Red/amber led,red/amber dj gel paper, or red sharpie marker?

[bigjohntightlips]

ive watched a number of your vids and they are impressive, im not going to bad mouth you off but at close range why dont you take the head shot instead ? that way the animal is down and dead instantly, great watching vids. ATB john uk

[DownWindOutdoors]

@bigjohntightlips I can answer that one lol....I thought the same thing and had those crosshairs buried between the eyes on that "first attempt" when I found out the safety was never taken off. The dog had been standing there for so long by the time I was squeezing off the shot for real, I just lined it up for the double lung for a quicker shot. 100 things go through your head in those two seconds and you work weeks months or years for the opportunity, I'd like to redo them all!

[bighossboss]

where do you guys hunt in ny i hunt in washington county

[kpicco1234]

fucking crows

[firefighter3428]

@dirtyskaterats why don't you do the world a favor and walk into oncoming traffic..

[realtreeSwagg67]

you suck at shooting man i coulda nailed him in the head and dropped him from fuckin 400 yards noobie

[realtreeSwagg67]

you suck fuckin ass at shooting man i coulda nailed him in the head and dropped him from fuckin 400 yards noobie

[sfranklin0440]

Beautiful coyote! It will look good in the trophy room!

[scarecrow6524]

All these hater would be begging us to take care of the coyotes if their precious little dogs and cats where being constantly eaten. That happens a lot here. And no, coyotes will never be hunted to extinction. Too many.

[JDReNo1]

Better that than my cat.

[DirtySkateRats]

You guys should go to fucking hell killing animals thinking your all good when you look like a couple of gay red necks that fuck each other to stay warm at night in your log houses in the woods! You are all fucked up in the head to kill a animal like this! How would you like it if I came over and shot your mom or your dad? Then how would you feel? Bitch you better watch your back becaause one of my bullet may go in it.

[texasranger26]

@DirtySkateRats You're an idiot... overpopulation of these animals will eventually cause other species to go extinct.. I'd shoot 100 coyotes a day if i could... Maybe you should dress up like one and go mix yourself into a coyote pack so someone can hunt you... you'd be doing all of us reasonable level headed people a favor.

You should also watch how you speak to others.. you've incriminated yourself with a threat to someones life...you should go to jail you dumb ass nigger

[effdeedaw]

@DirtySkateRats After reading this comment, I seriously have to wonder who is the "sick" one. All you animal lovers seem to have a warped sense of Nature...no animals get killed by other animals...and if they do, it is a nice, clean, pleasant experience for the prey, who understands that he is dying so others may live. There is nothing but peace and harmony within the animal kingdom. Now...go watch a video of a lion pride taking down a baby gazelle.

[CSATexan]

@DirtySkateRats

You should read the bible a little more. Nobody would go to hell for killing a coyote, while you could go to hell for shotting someone in the back

[TomorrowCall]

@DirtySkateRats wow you got some issues especially threatening someones life.

[TheJayhawker101]

Nice shot im goin this evening and hoplfully i get one or two

[TheJayhawker101]

y did u start calling after u shot him im just getting started i don't much?

[xdeerslayerx1996]

they ate my little puppy, after that ive been sitin in the tri-pod every night. Shot alot of them too.

[ZMonster06]

Wiley Bin Laden

[m7870]

That looks like a big ass coyote.

[SwaggerUSMCSniper]

Hey DownWindOutdoors, i live in TN i was wondering what kind of gun you would recommend. Most of my property is woods, but we have two fields and we have goats, chickens and horses. Our chicken numbers have been dwindling down, and we are worried about the goats. We have many coyotes and I am wondering what caliber rifle, and other equipment I will need to successfully cull the numbers.

[dizzhonest]

If WWIII happens you'll be sniper.

[oscar12690]

damn :( why do you guys kill those wonderful creatures.? you cant eat their meat, why not killing rabbits, hares, quails and squirrels.?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@oscar12690 although we do not eat coyotes, we do fetch about $20 per pelt. Admittedly so, that is not our primary motivation. Coyote populations are out of control in our area and its affecting a lot of the other game. Deer and rabbit numbers are dangerously low as a result. Rabbits! The expression should be "multiply like coyotes!" Turkeys are impacted but still healthy.

[oscar12690]

@DownWindOutdoors well good point, but you can domesticate coyotes, couse they are wild dogs actually im interesed to get one coyote, you can get a good hybrid if you cross the coyote with a german shepard or a belgium shepard. And rabbits, squirrels, hares will ever be pest they are a problem to our garden and corn field :L

[DownWindOutdoors]

@oscar12690 the damage that hits home the hardest is the loss of livestock. This is the third summer in a row with a least two confirmed calf kills. Let alone unconfirmed/missing.  So, if we can help to control this problem and experience the most thrilling exciting adrenaline pumping hunt in the sport, it's obvious why it has become so popular in recent years

[oscar12690]

@DownWindOutdoors well than if you have cattle is logic that coyotes are problem, specially with calves. But is no good driving coyote hunting to danger of extinction, you can raise coyotes like domestic dogs and breed coydogs too.

[DownWindOutdoors]

@oscar12690 coyotes are overpopulated. There is no such thing as driving them to extinction because if threatened they will instinctly have more pups in their litter and have multiple rounds of breeding. You can really only hope to contain their numbers.

[FixAoDream]

@DownWindOutdoors

I apologize if this happens to come off rude, but I think that you are missing the point in oscar's post. It is the your approach to the problem of losing livestock that I am sure the poster is ultimately disagreeing with here, rather than the act of killing/protecting, however it should be termed.

[FixAoDream]

@DownWindOutdoors

There are surely more cost and time effective ways of preventing your livestock from being in danger to these predators. It is how you readily accept that doing things this way justifies what you are doing. But you must have your reasons too, and they don't necessarily have to be exactly logical or the best way but it is the whole 'sport' approach to what your doing which makes it seem more cruel than it might be.

[FixAoDream]

@DownWindOutdoors In away this in some form or level is a part of the culture. I'm not going to ask you to defend it on that level but at the base of it all, it seems more as something done in sport, rather than for the safety of your livestock. These types of canines, have been introduced in other countries as natural measures against what oscar had listed as other farming pests, so I am sorry if I fail to see why it is exactly necessary to kill them.

[FixAoDream]

@DownWindOutdoors

Most canines like these coyotes are territorial, even if you kill them another coyote will eventually take over the left over territory. I feel like much of the justifications, generalizations and assessments that hunters use to defend this 'practice' lacks research but that is just my opinion... perhaps you could prove me wrong, or even enlighten me about why there are no other alternatives to hunting, in order to protect your livestock.

[m109r1800]

@oscar12690 Coyotes eat small dogs cats. I know we lost a few good cats. I know a lady that watch her small dog get taken away screaming. They come in my yard all the time I have a small dog and if it wasnt for my boxer she would of been killed. ummm city people. joke.

[Ginganinja59]

HS ur camo is accually amazing

[jewpowers]

thats a good looking coyote... I want to try out coyote hunting, but around here in northern CT they are really important to the ecosystem because not many people hunt their prey. But above any other game I want to hunt turkey.

[Toned963]

i looked up 200 pounds of crack and this is what i got seriously try it

[wsstarzkstar]

"ahhhhhh im hit im hit"

[KR1M1NAL23]

why did you call after you shot it?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@KR1M1NAL23 Where there's one, there's probably more so you should always keep calling in an attempt to draw in the other coyotes. Especially when conditions are so perfect and the first dog comes in so quickly, we'll often keep calling and it really has worked numerous times.

[KR1M1NAL23]

@DownWindOutdoors ohhh ok that makes sence

[BigDavid504]

where you bought that hat?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@BigDavid504 it's a scent-lok hat available at cabelas.com and other stores, short brim with attached mask and adjustable cords for sizing

[warrenpwr]

when i heard the safety clicking i said thank god im not the only one who does that lol well done lads 

[jefferydawson777]

i really want to get invovled with coyote hunting and selling the pelts, know any info on how to get started??

[DownWindOutdoors]

@jefferydawson777 sure thing, just hit up our site and submit any questions you may have. Hunting, skinning, selling..etc. good luck!

[tonyturner2011]

i aways thought rabbits made low pitched sounds

[DownWindOutdoors]

@tonyturner2011 Cottontails are higher pitched, while the jacks tend to be lower

[TylerHasaBush]

I've been trying all winter to get a coyote on my trail cam and I finally got one on cam would a 300. WSM be too big for a coyote?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@TylerHasaBush I'm afraid it might be, but I guess that depends on what you intend to do with the coyotes. We stick to the .22-250

[tonyturner2011]

pretty cool i would like to shoot my first coyote this year

[jackoliver12]

That dog looks more like a husky than anything. Coydog maybe. I hot one with my bow during the 2010 deer season. No season or bag limit here in Kentucky. Great shot!

[DownWindOutdoors]

@jackoliver12 Coyotes up here in New York have a high concentration of wolf genes, so sometimes they can look a little different and often bigger too.

[IGotCurbstomped]

Great shot, amazing footage.....5 stars!

[hunterbydesign]

Great vid!

[chewspitter14]

how would a 243 work for yote hunting

[moomoomlik99]

man thats some nice lookin dog

[NoNameTactical]

what editor are you using?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@NoNameTactical Adobe Premiere

[MrHardPressed]

What other kind of callers to you use? I hear your callers comment to "challenge" . Sometimes I hear a howl like a real one. What other kinds do you use? And how do you see at night to aim, etc. Thanks for your help. Maybe there is some printed info on this- I really am looking to get into this because these dogs are everywhere down here. You can here em calling all night and they are close!!!! People need help decreasing the numbers and I'd love to learn! Thanks

[MrHardPressed]

You don't have to respond, I just saw what you wrote back in the comments. crack rabbit. Thanks again.

[MrHardPressed]

Hey what type of caller is that? I see alot of vids and folks use the same kind-small and sounds like a wining baby.

[DownWindOutdoors]

@MrHardPressed It's a closed reed cottontail rabbit squealer. Believe it or not, that is what a rabbit sounds like when a coyote is ripping it apart!!! The idea is, coyotes in the area will come running in to try and get a piece of this catch.

[Angusismyidol]

@DownWindOutdoors I shot a rabbit yesterday and it made a different sound... similar more high pitched though.

[MissRia100]

good hunting.And a good size coyote.

[john100174]

Ther is a season there ?? in Texas coyote there isnt a season you just shoot the damm things..

[DownWindOutdoors]

@john100174 In New York it goes from October 1st - March 27th.

[MrHardPressed]

I found your sight looking up 22-250 and was way impressed with your long distance kill on the head of the one dog. He just rolled back!... Then into more of your great shots!! What type of gun, sight, stock, and bullet. I'm new to hunting and we have alot of coyotes down here in the piedmont of NC. I'm going to go next season.

[DownWindOutdoors]

@MrHardPressed If you expand the description of any video, we try to list all the details for the specific hunt. We all have one thing in common, and that is the Remington 700. But comfort is probably the most important factor when it comes to stocks and scopes. Bell and Carlson to HS Precision, Nikon Monarch to Leupold, its really personal preference. That was a 50gr hornady vmax bullet on this hunt, although usually they do a better job putting the SMACK DOWN! Thanks again for watching

[MrHardPressed]

what do you do with the dog after the hunt?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@MrHardPressed We generally get about $20 for a nicely coated coyote. Blondes and blacks are best, but this one I liked so much I kept it.

[gsl5003]

your hunts are always very fun to watch...thanks for sharing these with everybody!

[DownWindOutdoors]

@gsl5003 thanks for watching!

[mcftyl]

what caliber of gun is this?

[DownWindOutdoors]

@mcftyl 22-250

[CountryKyle007]

What camera do you guys use? Thanks

[DownWindOutdoors]

@CountryKyle007 Sony HDR-FX1000

[DownWindOutdoors]

@CountryKyle007 although for this hunt, I believe it was filmed with a more consumer-based Sony CX500V video camera. If you're thinking about getting into it and bringing a camera along, this might be a good choice to get your feet wet

[jca57jd]

What type of stock do you have on that gun? its awsome!

[DownWindOutdoors]

@jca57jd That stock actually came with that Remington Model 700.

[john2k53]

I live down in Orange County NY, I don't think I could ever call coyotes out into a open field during the day like that. Good job guys!

[DownWindOutdoors]

@john2k53 The trick is to call during the first or last moments of light for the day if you want to see them busting across fields, because you're right- once the sun is out it is almost impossible. The mission then transforms to a spot and stalk technique at that point.

[hendryxcc]

how bad does the 22-250 hurt the pelt? I have been trying to decide whether to get the 22-250 or the .223. 

[DownWindOutdoors]

@hendryxcc You will be fine with either choice. The bigger factor with pelt damage is minimizing your pass throughs. This is influenced more by your actual bullet and shot placement. Try a ballistic tip of brand of choice and your pelt should be in good shape!

[hendryxcc]

@DownWindOutdoors Thanks for the info

[chevroletTD]

@DownWindOutdoors i just bought an identical gun. ive heard you have to get taller rings with a 50 mm scope with a heavy barrel is that why you got the 44 mm or just what you got,i don't want my scope to high, and i actually took a spike buck with a 50 grain v max this season droped it where it stood almost went all the way through ,im buying a lee dye and neck sizer so me and my uncle can hand load my rounds. and i heard these stocks flex but i can't see that not in this caliber they dont kick

[crazykid9741]

what caliber were u useing

[DownWindOutdoors]

@crazykid9741 22-250

[10dmeuse]

what for coyote call are you using

[DownWindOutdoors]

@10dmeuse We were using the Crack Rabbit from Crack Predator Calls

[mprasanth005]

what camera are u using mate????

[DownWindOutdoors]

@mprasanth005 The camera in this hunt is a Sony CX500V and we also have a Sony HDR-FX1000

[Azcodito]

That is a nice looking dog. Almost looks like a wolf hybrid.

[TXBucksnort]

Wow! There is a season for coyotes in NY? Doesn't make sense but thats another subject. Great video and glad ya'll are helping thin them out. I really enjoyed this. Beautiful yote.

[DownWindOutdoors]

@TXBucksnort Thanks and I couldn't agree more. Hopefully one day we will be able to hunt coyotes year round in NY

[Ddubya77]

I love crows when you're hunting coyotes.. It seems that if you can get the crows to respond to the distress calls a coyote usually isn't too far behind if there is one in the area.. Crows just make it that much more realistic.. Cool set up and nice shot!

[DownWindOutdoors]

@Ddubya77 As soon as the crows come in the trigger finger starts to twitch!

[pinetar100]

way to start it off

[Outdoorsforum]

What gun? It looks like a Rem. 700. I got a weatherby Vanguard.

[DownWindOutdoors]

@Outdoorsforum Yes, it is a Remington 700.

[hatsan38]
