Hello tj273,
Welcome to the IVH Forums! We are glad that you could join us here!
Well! This is what I tell everyone about places to go coyote calling! First off you live in Idaho, we have literally a trillon acres of BLM,State, and Forest Service Lands that we can access any day anytime we wish! 2) There are no magic spots or honey holes to go, or that we can take you to! There are just areas that look better than others, and hold coyotes better, due to several things, first - protection from the weather and being seen, second - available prey animals (food base), thirdly - near a water source.
Go to your local sporting good store or BiMart, or WalMart, and get a DeLorme Idaho Map Book, find the areas (BLM-State Lands) that you want to go checkout, then fill your pickup with gas, throw your guns, ammo, and calls in the truck, and go explore! That is the best way to do it! You learn the roads and the country that way! There are other factors to the equation that you will need to be looking for! Like places that you can hide your pickup, the direction of the sun and the wind, when you are deciding on a spot to make a stand!
If you know how to locate coyotes, that is what we do to find them, go out and locate them, then go back and make a stand, call them in. You have to put in your hard work to find and call coyotes, and that is a major part of the game!
My suggestion is to get as far away from cities and towns as possible, unless you can secure private property close to civilization.
For example: My friend got a farm outside of Caldwell, he said that it had never been called, so he went out to the farm, he scouted the property and found good sign of coyote population was using the farm, so he grabbed his stuff and walked out behind the old barn, set up began calling, he had 7 coyotes come into his call. So you see there are coyotes everywhere, it is just a matter of getting them to respond to the call! Coyotes that live in more populated areas, will be nocturnal, and will most likely not respond to a call at all, they are very, very wiry of people. My friend has also gone into a subdivision in Nampa area, and has called to eliminate the coyote problem for the property owners. And he did the job for them! I worked a job in Boise at night, where I drove a route each night, every night I would see coyotes and foxes on the edges of downtown, going about their business, stealing local pet cats and dogs for dinner, also hunting rats in the alley ways behind businesses, and raiding garbage cans of restaurants for meals on wheels! LOL Good Luck Gary
