Quick Answer
Evening coyote hunting often relies on lures designed to mimic small mammals or food sources, such as rabbit or mouse scent, typically used in conjunction with a coyote call.
Lure Selection for Evening Coyote Hunting
When selecting lures for evening coyote hunting, consider using high-intensity scents that can be detected over longer distances. Rabbit or mouse urine-based lures are popular choices, often applied directly to the lure or attached to a lure strip. Apply a small amount of lure, around 0.1-0.2 ml, to avoid overpowering the coyote’s sense of smell.
Effective Lure Placement and Timing
For optimal results, place lures 10-20 yards apart, creating a scent trail that the coyote can follow. Use a consistent pattern of lures to create a believable trail, such as a circular or linear layout. Timing is also crucial; apply lures about 15 minutes before the expected coyote arrival time, allowing the scents to settle and become more attractive to the coyote.
