Quick Answer
To set up a blind for coyote hunting, choose a location with minimal visibility, set up a blind or hide, and use decoys and calls to attract coyotes. Consider using electronic calls, which are often more effective than mouth calls. Position the blind for optimal visibility and shooting lanes.
Choosing the Right Location
When selecting a location for your coyote blind, look for areas with minimal visibility, such as fields, meadows, or woods with dense cover. Avoid areas with high human traffic or other predators that may spook coyotes. Consider the wind direction and choose a location that funnels coyotes into your shooting lane.
Setting Up the Blind
Set up your blind or hide in a location that provides good visibility and shooting lanes. Consider using a pop-up blind or a ground blind with a camo netting to blend in with the surroundings. Place the blind at least 20 yards away from any potential escape routes or hiding spots for coyotes.
Using Decoys and Calls
Use decoys to attract coyotes to your blind. Consider using a pack of coyote decoys, which can create the illusion of a pack of coyotes. Use electronic calls, such as a FOXPRO or a Remington, which can produce a wide range of coyote sounds, including howls, yips, and barks. Position the decoys in front of the blind, facing the incoming coyote. Use the calls to simulate the sounds of coyotes in the area, and be prepared to make adjustments as needed.
