Kentucky Predator Hunting

Predator hunting can be an exciting, fast paced hunt at times while it can also take discipline and test patience you never thought you had. You have to disappear into your surroundings. Predator hunting often involves sitting still for long periods of time while only using your eyes to scan the terrain in front of you. Even the most attractive calls that may be a dinner bell to a bobcat, coyote or fox is for not unless you maintain a stealth like approach. At times you will have predators come racing in to commit suicide, but more often than not they will take a cat like approach, come in from down wind and have their sharp eyes keyed in on your position.

Predator hunting often requires being mobile and having the ability to setup several different times or even bounce around to different properties. Coyotes can cover miles each day in search of food, especially during the winter months. A coyote that left sign today could be 6 miles away tomorrow.

Not every hunt will end in success. Often several setups do not lead to a response, but then you will hit a string where the next three or four will. To say the least, predator hunting can be hit or miss, but there are usually a few things newcomers do wrong and that is most often over-calling and setting up with the wind wrong. These are probably the 2 biggest mistakes those new to predator hunting make.
