Guided Coyote/Prairie Dog Hunts in Montana
Let me call coyotes in for you! My name is Eric and I will be your guide on this exciting varmint hunt. I have had fun shooting varmints for over 13 years in Eastern Montana, and I
want to share this experience with you. I have access to hundreds of thousands of acres of public and private land filled with coyotes & prairie dog towns (80% private, 5 big ranches averaging
50 sections each = 250 sections, 250 * 640 acres/section = 160,000 acres, and that's just the beginning! The point is, my service is unique because we can hunt for seven days and never have
to hunt the same area twice!) So drive or fly to Miles City, MT, then don't worry about anything but shooting straight.
Guaranteed Chance at a coyote or half your money back *for 2 day or more hunts with coyote focus

About the Hunt
Over the past few years rabbit numbers have soared in Eastern Montana, and coyote numbers have followed because of the availability of this food source. The calling on some of these
private ranches is some of the best, because there is little hunting pressure.
Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to catch the coyotes out roaming around. By simply driving around the prairie dog towns and creek bottoms during these hours, you will
have chances at coyotes. Typical calling setups require driving to specific creek bottom overlooks or other high potential area, staying concealed, and walking a few hundred yards to the
calling setup location. This has been effective in the past, but I have found that doing a 2 to 3 mile slow, concealed walk down a ridgeline between creek drainages can offer some of the
best setups that yield multiple chances at coyotes. We will try to call coyotes as far from the vehicle as possible, depending on hunter ability.
A typical setup consists of me pointing out an area that allows good visibility and concealment for a shooter to set up at. Depending on the number of hunters in the group, shooters will
be spread out at various locations surrounding the caller depending on the wind direction and expected coyote approach route. The caller will call on intervals for 10-20 minutes. Most
action will likely occur within the first 5 minutes. If nothing comes to the calls, we'll move to another area and try again.
Shooters must remain very still and make very slow motions when looking around or preparing to shoot.
Bowhunters welcome! - Calling Setups can allow for shots within bow range.
Hollow points are recommended for prairie dog hunting.
