Ideal height for tree stands when hunting coyotes?

Choosing the Right Tree Stand Height

When hunting coyotes from tree stands, it’s essential to select a height that provides a clear view of the surrounding area while keeping you concealed from potential prey. A height of 10 to 15 feet off the ground is ideal for coyote hunting. This allows you to observe the coyote’s behavior without being detected, as they are naturally wary of humans.

Stand Placement Techniques

To increase your chances of successful coyote hunting, consider the following stand placement techniques: (1) Position your stand near a water source, such as a stream or pond, to increase the likelihood of coyote activity; (2) Place your stand near a food source, such as a deer feed or a beehive, to attract coyotes to the area; and (3) Consider using a spot-and-stalk approach, where you move to a new location after a short period to avoid detection by coyotes.
