There’s more to predator control than picking off the occasional coyote.

One of the best ways to introduce someone to the outdoors is on a predator hunt that involves calling, moving around and, hopefully, a successful ending.

When I started deer hunting 40 years ago the versatile .243 rifle caliber did the trick for my first whitetails. It should work just fine for coyotes, too.

Just because you’re hunting something other than predators doesn’t mean coyotes aren’t around for harvesting.

Deer hunters own the trail camera market and you’ll never take that crown. But you can benefit from trail cams if you use them well.

Making long-range shots on predators sounds daunting, but it's not impossible given the proper training and practice like at the Bergara Academy.

Making a flat set could be the answer to trapping that coyote that is hard to call and catch. Jason Houser provides a simply tutorial for how to set one up.

If you're shooting few shots while moving frequently heavy barrels might not be for you. However, if you're in a target rich environment a heavy barrel counters the warping effect of heat and helps you steady the rifle to hit small, distant targets.

Using the terrain to your advantage can make for a successful hunt, but unfamiliarity can end the hunt even begins. Are you preparing properly?
