Best time to go coyote hunting ?

Ok i live in south carolina and we are having problems with coyotes on our land. I am hunting with a single shot 12 gauge. The coyotes have came between 20-30 yards of me before. So when is the best time to hunt them (What months and times of the day do i need to go)Best time to go coyote hunting ?
If you want to just get rid of them now is a great time. At this time of year they are running in dinning packs, as they have just had their litters a short time ago. Young dogs are very gullible. If you are after a trophy then winter is the best for the fir is in it's prime. As for a single shot 12 gauge the only drawback is it being a single shot. Use good calling and camo or a blind. We use shotguns for the close in dogs and rifles for the long shots as needed. If you are real lucky take out the alpha male and you will solve your problem. As for time of day we hunt any time that is legal. Just check be for hunting at night as it mite not be legal in your area. We can only hunt on privet property at night for predators.Best time to go coyote hunting ?
When you hear them. Now, as soon as those very smart animals realize (1) you are actively out to kill them with that big and visible thunder stick, and (2) that it's range is easy to stay just out of, you will have precious few offered reasonable shots. However, good calling techniques and a good blind can offset this, enough or not remains to be seen. Any deer rifle will take coyotes just fine, and better if loaded with light varmint bullets to greatly reduce recoil for the best shooter accuracy. If offered cheap, a 243 makes a very good varmint and deer meat gun, with negligible recoil even with deer loads, for maximum shooter accuracy. Trophy hunters need capability of rear shots making it all the way to the front on that one lifetime opportunity, and a 308 or so does that. But meat hunters get offered lots of clean broadside lung shots which don't mess up much meat, and a 243 is overkill. Match the tool to the job, and it's not a 12 gauge for coyotes. Regards, Larry.
Camaro,





There is not fun time with Coyotes. The best time, year round, is from midnight till sunup. Get a good spotlight with a red lens, because they can't see the red light. Be careful out there.
if u try a .223 you will have longer range. Either just after deer season(mmmmm tasty gut piles!) or spring when they have pups. try a kiyi call at this time.
Early morning. In the fall.
