#FOX AND COYOTE HUNTING HOW TO#

One of the oldest forms of predator hunting is using hounds, and this is a time-honored method steeped in tradition which goes back eons, with dogs and humans working constructively together. Whatever method you use, predator hunting is extremely challenging, and a great way to enjoy the wintertime outdoors. Here in the Thumb, this means strictly for fox and coyote because the bobcat hunting zone is further north. This is referred to today as “predator hunting”, but being old school, I still tend to call it “varmint hunting”, and whatever you wish to call it, Michigan offers excellent opportunities.

I highly recommend his book, whether you are a seasoned predator hunter, or just starting out.Ī fast growing winter pastime is hunting for fox (both red and gray), coyote, and where legal (refer to the MDNR Hunting Guide), bobcat. Huff is a fulltime licensed professional coyote hunting guide and operates Master Predator Hunting, LLC and certainly knows his stuff in this regard.

A great book, “Master Coyote Hunting” by Michael Huff (available on Amazon for $19.95) is the best I have ever read about how-to on every facet of coyote hunting including calls, hunting arms/calibers, day and night hunting and even how to properly skin out a coyote. I’ve watched how its numbers have spread throughout our state during the last three decades (not to mention all of North America and now it has also crossed the Panama Canal and is presently invading South America) and it can even do well in an urban environment. There is no doubt the coyote has become the star in regards to predator hunting in Michigan, and for a good reason because it is a highly prolific, adaptable and efficient predator.
