Shot placement discussions happen before each setup, ensuring you're confident and prepared when opportunities present themselves.
Eastern coyotes in Maine are impressive predators, typically weighing 35-50 pounds with some exceptional animals pushing 60 pounds. These aren't the smaller western coyotes – Maine's population shows wolf genetics that produce larger, more robust animals with thick winter coats. They're active year-round, but behavior changes dramatically with seasons. Winter finds them concentrated around deer wintering areas, while spring brings territorial calling and den establishment. Summer hunting focuses on family groups teaching pups, and fall sees dispersal patterns as young coyotes establish new territories. Their intelligence makes them challenging quarry – they learn from hunting pressure quickly and adapt their patterns accordingly. Maine coyotes are primarily nocturnal but show increased daytime activity during winter months and breeding season. They respond well to distress calls, challenge howls, and prey sounds when called properly. Success often depends on understanding their natural curiosity balanced against their survival instincts. These predators provide excellent hunting opportunities because Maine has no closed season and generous bag limits, making them perfect for hunters looking to extend their season or develop calling skills.
