Another question, are hand calls worth it? We dont have an e-caller atm and were using only hand calls. Obviously I am not yet proficient with them. Im thinking to just get the ecaller, but continue practicing hand calls. Seems like it would take a lot of time to get good at hand calling, plus...

I was under the assumption that the smell of campfire would make the yotes very weary, as well as hearing loud voices. Does it not matter?

Lol, yeah with binos

I have to say, although we didnt have any success it was definitely a good experience out there. Its tough hunting in San Mateo Wilderness which will make it all the more rewarding to get a kill there. im not the type to give up easy

They are illegal, these guys with the fire going started dumping dirt on the fire as soon as they saw us scoping them. Must have thought we were some kind of authority! Lol

Went out yesterday to CNF North, in the San Mateo Wilderness. Hiked down to the spot we had been planning to set up for a couple weeks, before we arrived at the location I hear humans, come a little further down trail and see a big campfire burning :'( . So that spot was blown. Continued another...

Thats good, plus at night there are no hikers.

Can you hunt coyote or other mammals at night in CNF? Seems like this would be prime time to get them.

Scouted out San Mateo wilderness last week, it is very thick, but definitely doable. Hope you were ready for a long hike. Good luck, hope you knab some dogs!

Got it

What do you do if your calls bring in a mountain lion?

Heres the picture

Saw this one passing by the parking lot the other day, there were people walking around nearby and it disnt even care. IMG_8279.jpeg

On the real... unless you're on a bet, or you enjoy the taste of dog, I'd say don't do it. As a general rule of thumb, you don't want to eat a meat eater (GENERAL rule guys... we aren't talking about bears). Make sure you have a good knife on you. Go look on YouTube on how to skin a coyote. Take...

not sure on the taste. My bro wants to eat the coyote meat! Ill let him try it first!

So Ive got a few hand calls Ive yet to use in the field. i know I need practice and I have an idea how to practice but not sure if its a good one. So nearby my house and my mother inlaws house there is a large coyote population. ive seen them walking around the greenbelt behind her condo in the...

The Wal-Mart near me is really limited on hunting gear, Ill check it out though. I can always order it on their website if its not in the store. Thanks for the tip!

Will probably be picking up motion decoy this week, dont have the budget for the e-call right now, but its definitely on my wish list. We found an area pretty far from any trails, so hopefully hikers wont be an issue. Any recommendations on which decoy to get? Another question i have, if we get...

Thanks again for all the responses. Went out on Ortega, south of the divide on Sunday morning. Hike down to fishermans camp, then took another trail which led us up to the top of the canyon then down a bunch of switchbacks back to the bottom of a crrek bed. From there we hiked off trail for a...

Thanks for all the responses fellas! Are there any other areas close to Orange County that would be recommended for a beginner? I still want to try Ortega just because it is so close by for me, but would like some other options.
