Hi the name is Austin. I have lived in Idaho all my life and grew up hunting. I haven't done much coyote hunting, starting to get into it though. Hunted coyotes a lot in north Dakota with low success. I would just like to get some insight on where to go around Boise and cascade Donnelly area ill be up there the next coming weekend. if anyone has some areas that would be good to check out that would be greatly appreciated.

It has been a bit quiet on the board lately but someone usually does chime in that knows what is going on, but that's not me being out of state. But everyone here is usually very helpful.

Hello Austin, Welcome to the Idaho Varmint Hunters Forums. We are glad that you found us! We hope that we will see & hear more from you in the near future. Feel free to post stories, pictures, and hunting reports. We really like pictures of your hunts and hero pictures. To answer your question, I am going to give you the same answer I give everyone that asks the question "Where Do I Go?" First of all, there is no magic hunting spot. Hunting coyotes is way different than hunting big game. A coyotes territories are large, 5 to 10 square miles, depending on food availability, and coyote population density. And they are on the move all the time. So, I say, anywhere outside the city limits, whether on public or private property, is a good bet there are coyote there. To know if the area is populated with coyotes, go out and look for sign, tracks and scat are prime indicators that there are coyote in the area. How fresh is the sign? Fresh snow or mud helps to identify fresh tracks. But first, you must get maps, maps from BLM, DeLorme Red Atlas Idaho Book, Forest Service Maps, Google Earth, Map Quest Maps, whatever kind you get. Pick a location, fill your truck with fuel, and drive to that location. When there, get out and look for sign. Look for locations to hide your vehicle, and calling locations, make a note of those locations, on paper, in your mind, or waypoint them on your GPS, so you can return to them. When you return, make sure you have your vehicle hidden well, you are camoed up well, most importantly, make sure that you walk to your stand with the wind in your face. Keep the sun behind you! Don't call to much! A little will get you along ways. We have a club meeting every second Tuesday of the month at the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant on Eagle Road starts at 7pm, come early and eat and meet the crew. We also meet each week on Wednesday morning at 11am at Tom's Cabin Cafe 5 miles west of Emmett, on Hwy 52. On the corner of Tom's Cabin Rd and Hwy 52. Good Luck, Gary |
