Coyote Hunting With Remote Motion Detector And Lure Scents, New Trail Cam Videos
I can predict enough about coyote behaviour that I think they can be hunted productively using scent attractions and a remote motion alarm. The way I've seen them hunt coyotes in Maine, on Northwood Justice I believe it is titled.
About a couple weeks ago I set up this trail camera on sign in a rocky wash.* I used 2 rock piles with different lures for attractors. One rock pile was set 15 feet or so away from the lens, and the other about 25 feet away.* And as luck would have it a wind storm came up as soon as I left and wedged a limb directly in front of the lens.* When I returned several days latter the coyotes had worked the rock piles, so and moved the camera about 25 yards away.* I left it for 4 days and 5 nights capturing a male and female coyote, a 1/2 dozen swift foxes, dozen or so jackrabbits, a roadrunner that didn't peck out the camera lens, and too many kangaroo rats. Here's the bata male coyote that was called away from the curiosity lure rock pile by the howe from the Alpha male.* These coyotes hunt in packs trotting* washes or other terrain in a static line with the intent of jumpimg up or running prey animals into each other's path or line of sight. https://youtu.be/2Ve80ft7kXI Here's the female that showed up and scattered the tri-nitro x3 curiosity lure rock pile then rubbed the scent. https://youtu.be/3mGIqudrZO4 Then these dabgum swift foxes messed up the curiosity lure rock pile #2.* These little predators are so curious they can be attracted at night by shining a hand held light around, or even by a strange sound like knocking on wood or kissing the back of your hand. https://youtu.be/XbYi0zPxIik https://youtu.be/HHZ_5xRJ6Cs https://youtu.be/L_9_PNxQErA https://youtu.be/ORcCgRM3cKM https://youtu.be/55WSmXcu6i0 Then here's the jackrabbit with the lame foot.* I bet it was injured escaping from a predator: https://youtu.be/_ZdFdLmfdBA https://youtu.be/tXaWRCg6naU Then these kangaroo rats triggered the camera more than anything else by a long shot, the majority of the 56 videos were of them: https://youtu.be/PRWR9YI49P0 https://youtu.be/tUfzDMawVBY Then this roadrunner came popped up on in the front of the lens.* I'm lucky to have camouflaged around the camera using throns, the thorns prevent woodpeckers, roadrunners, rodents, ect from damaging the lenses or sensors: https://youtu.be/RvSUoGE0lOQ Last edited by tony270; 04-26-2018 at 5:48 PM.. |

Here's a link to the kind of remote motion detector from Spy Point that I'm refering to:

Unless you’re planning on a distant shot like your motion detector is capable of, I think you’ll have a much harder time using scents and attractants VS. sounds and motion decoys. Mostly because your scent will be traveling the same direction as your Lures. Which at some point the coyote is likely to cross paths with both. Sound will travel 360°, where your scents are subject to any breeze or wind. I would love to see how this works for you. Please share if you have success.

I don't try to defeat the coyotes olfactory sense, I try to avoid the possibility of detection by staying out of the air-stream. The easiest way to do that is to hunt crosswind and if everything goes right a shot will present itself. This time of year coyotes don't respond well to calls. From the limited trail camera information that I have they may not respond to calls because of the abundance of prey animals, other food sources that are available, and preparing to den up to raise a litter of pups.
The hunters in Maine set up on bait piles comfortably waiting inside a blind or shooting house until the motion alert is triggered, similar to ice fishing. My plan is to set up early enough (before dawn) using a short calling sequence ( with the caller near the lure), and if everything falls in place the coyote will likely respond in short order, or within a couple hours, 1-1/2 hour before and after sunset is a good time too. With a few exceptions I stopped positing dead coyotes because it is only used against us, though I will post the results from this tactic. Here's a simple diagram of how I set up. I also use the terrain and other land features to force the coyote where I want them, and 2nd to wind direction keep low, resist standing or raising up to peek: Last edited by tony270; 07-22-2021 at 7:00 AM.. |

When hunting for coyote in AZ, I would use watering holes as the attraction. Would always have a couple either getting water or hunting something that was

Well I don't think motion detectors alarm systems are addressd for huntung coyotes. I guess it's like recording a video, or using a caller and decoy, or a trail camera.

I found this but it doesn't apply to a motion alarm for non game animals/coyotes.
"§251.9. Computer Assisted Remote Hunting. (a) It is unlawful to take or assist in the taking of any bird or mammal in or from this state, by computer-assisted remote hunting. (b) It is unlawful to establish or operate a computer-assisted remote hunting site for the purpose of taking any bird or mammal from or within this state. (c) For the purposes of this section, "computer-assisted remote hunting" means the use of a computer or any other remotely controlled device, equipment, software, or technology, to remotely control the aiming or discharge of any weapon, including, but not limited to, any firearm, bow and arrow, spear, harpoon or any other weapon capable of killing or injuring any bird or mammal, for the purposes of taking any bird or mammal. (d) For the purposes of this section, "computer-assisted remote hunting site" means any computer, internet site or web-based device or system, or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of any bird or mammal.

The regulations regarding wildlife watering places specifically prohibit “… establishing or inhabiting a camp; resting; picnicking; sleeping; parking or inhabiting any motor vehicle or trailer; hunting; or engaging in any other recreational activity for a period of more than thirty (30) minutes at a given location.” “Wildlife watering places” are defined as waterholes, springs, seeps and man-made watering devices for wildlife such as guzzlers (self-filling, in-the-ground water storage tanks), horizontal wells and small impoundments of less than one surface acre in size. According to Game Warden Jason Chance, an ethical hunter should treat watering holes the same as bait piles. Like bait piles, watering holes attract game, especially in arid areas. Ethical hunters know there is no fair chase or challenge in hunting animals around waterholes or guzzlers because this provides the hunter with an unfair advantage over wild game". |

Thanks for posting, Tony. And for the videos. According to this last paragraph in your post above, section D, it appears to be Illegal to use the remote devices you mentioned to take “any bird or mammal” “or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of any bird or mammal” Last edited by Mesa Defense; 05-03-2018 at 6:00 AM.. |

Your Welcome and thank you for appreciating my work.
You would not be hunting remotely, see bold below. “or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of any bird or mammal". Using a motion detector like a Buck Alert to take coyotes is different than hunting remotely. I would be hunting directly on site not using a remotely operated method of dispatch like using a laptop to aim or fire a rifle. |

To keep everything in perspective that section is basically dealing computer assisted hunting, but still applies
(§251.9. Computer Assisted Remote Hunting".) This quote is refering to using a web site to hunt through: "electronically operated site" |

(d) For the purposes of this section, "computer-assisted remote hunting site" means any computer, internet site or web-based device or system, or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of any bird or mammal.
New section filed 11-1-2005 operative 12-1-2005 (Register 2005,” I read the above definition “to include electronically operated site OR other electronically operated SYSTEM ( such as an electronic remote camera system) to use in the taking of any bird or mammal.” Looks pretty clear to me. Just be careful out there, Tony. Last edited by Mesa Defense; 05-03-2018 at 7:59 AM.. |

You need to understand that electric callers, decoys, etc are legal to use to hunt coyotes and bobcats with. And that that regulation was placed into the regulations to prohibit remote hunting using a machines to take the animal.

I perfer positing coyote hunting videos that the coyote escapes, when you document the kill coyote projects uses it to promote their quest to ban coyote hunting, they have no idea of how difficult it is to control coyotes, okay I wrote that.
Yesterday I headed out and set up a stand, the Firestorm was sounding the distressed hairy woodpecker, and a cotton wick saturated with Nitro X'3 lure permeated the breeze. After 3 hours with no takers it was time to move.* Before leaving making sure to circled the area looking tracks from anything that may have approached. At this point I made the decision to spend some time at the next location to* scout for sign. Now I clearly understand why so many kangaroo rats are at my set.* They are foraging for seeds in the disturbed earth that I leave.* Part of the evidence that I notice was through a set of tire tracks cutting through the open desert.* Inside the tire tracks I saw that kangaroo rats had dug and scrape leaving the same sign that I see through their acts of foraging.* I surmise that the tire track trial has soft soil making it faster and easier to dig and or had turned the soil enough unearthing seeds and roots for the taking. Then I leave and run into a pack of coyotes.* They are looking right at me so I keep going.* I bust a move and quickly sneek into a wash.* Get out and set the caller 25 yards away. The coyotes are out of site but still lingering in an open area sniffing the ground looking for what looks like insects.* It had rain the night before and was still sprinkling on and off, the moisture is what must had caused something to become available to forage for.* I quickly set up behind a Smoketree (Paloverde spelling) with my Jeep in plane sight, I turn on the caller and the coyotes come in and it was simular to picking a bird form a covey of quail, or like a predator fish selecting a fish from a school of the. It was there time to live. I blew it becauseinstead of taking my time and smoothly setting up I couldn't resists the urge to speed up and that caused me to become discombobulated and miss.* The coyote are running all over but I can't see them on the video.* I took the shot at a coyote that has stopped behind a creosote bush, the round was too frangible to crash through the twigs and connect, it would be different if I was shooting lead.* At the end of the video you can see the tracks where the coyote ran up and stopped across the wash from the caller, can't win them all was but it was still fun. Here's the link to the video, after a closer look I can see a glimpse of the coyote that I shot at.* It comes running up at the 2 second mark on the video.* The arrow in this screenshot showed the path that the coyote appears in the video, the arrow head stops at where the coyote stopped, the blue circle is where the callee is.* I think that I can see glimpse of a couple of other coyotes too. https://youtu.be/iJ5DJCHp4AY The black dot is the coyote charging in: Last edited by tony270; 07-22-2021 at 7:00 AM.. |

tony270, you are living proof that our educational system discriminates disproportionately.
Your teach may have given you an A in comprehension but clearly they were just trying to help you get out of school. Hopefully another or a few forum users will explain to you what I wrote. I have no words. I will gracefully bow out of this topic to avoid further misunderstandings. Good luck on your adventurous yote hunting. |

See how fast they come in, I think I'll order the Buck Alert Motion Detector, looking at the reviews the Spy Point company has bad customer service and technical support, that's why I passed on it, and the Buck Alert is not durable enough to last, that's why I thought about the driveway motion detector. Anyway I'll be going with the Buck Alert, after all it is made for hunting.

Okay, not an ambiguous regulation like some others. You can't use that technology to do the quote, it makes it clear:
"to remotely control the aiming or discharge of any weapon, including, but not limited to, any firearm, bow and arrow, spear, harpoon or any other weapon capable of killing or injuring any bird or mammal, for the purposes of taking any bird or mammal".

Section §251.9 describes what computers assisted hunting is or the definition. When reading section §251.9, first read paragraphs (a), (b,), then refer to paragraphs (c) and (d) to understand the activity that is being regulated.

Okay, what I understand is that paragraph (c) is the definition for "computer-assisted remote hunting", and the definition in paragraph (d) describes what a "computer-assisted remote hunting site" is.
Paragraph (c) is the definition for the act of "computer-assisted remote hunting", the word site is added to the definition for (d), the "computer-assisted remote hunting site" The way that I understand it is that paragraph (c), the "computer-assisted remote hunting" definition, should be referred to in conjunction with paragraph (d), the definition for a computer-assisted remote hunting site, both need to jive with the other to make the act illegal. Because I'm not performing any of the acts in paragraph (c), there's no need to even look at paragraph (d), it wouldn't apply because I wouldn't meet the definition in paragraph (c), computer-assisted remote hunting. In other words, (d) can't be enforced without first performing an act that is prohibited in (c), (c) can't be enforced. There's no mention of motion detectors that I can find for Cali, so if not mentioned as a prohibited tatic, is it okay. I think so, no different than using a fishing alarm (but the pole has to be closely attended) which are mentioned in the fishing regulations. Anyway coyotes are so leery that a motion detector would add little advantage, just another cool gadget when it would allow a connection. Last edited by tony270; 05-03-2018 at 5:29 PM.. |

How's this:
It is prohibited to use a "internet site or web-based device or system, or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of birds or mammals to control the aiming or discharge of any weapon, "internet site or web-based device or system, or other electronically operated site or system used to assist in the remote taking of any bird" or "mammal by" remotely controlling "a firearm, bow and arrow, spear, harpoon or any other weapon capable of killing or injuring any bird or mammal"..
