Just woundering if anyone has called and taken coyotes off the beach? ( an ocean type beach )Not to many prople even think about that.
If you have I'd like to hear the story. Some beaches where there is not alot of people can have lots of food that washes up, I know a coyote ain't going to pass that up.
With all these hardcore coyote callers in this forum, someone has had to try it.
I'm sure callers have taken coyotes around lakes and rivers, another place to find food. Thought this subject could make for some interesting reading.

Have seen coyotes on the beach in Southern California and Alaska, but never tried to call one right on the beach. I called them within 400 yards of the beach in California, in brush and ravines. Am curious myself what others may post on beach calling.

I've seen them on the beach north of Santa Barbara while surfing, but never tried calling them.

Just remembered calling a coyote no more than 150 yards from the breaking surf, south of Mugu Rock toward Malibu. He was about 75 yards from open beach, in the mouth of a small canyon.
I've called several kinds of fish while skin diving, plus brook trout while standing on a lake shore. Do those count?

All kidding aside, predators hunt the beaches at night, even in the day in California, Oregon and Washington. Believe it or not, the far western end of Los Angeles international airport where gray fox abound, that's right at the beach.
If a predator can hunt the beach without human intervention, they sure well do so and for good reason, lots of food.
How do I know about this? Just hearsay from old predator hunters I've talked to. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Hearsay? You wouldn't have seen any Baja coyotes chewing on dead seals in the seaweed, would you?

I seem to remember something from one of Murry Burnham's videos about calling coyotes to the camera on the beach / sand dunes down in old Mexico.

Hmm? There is a wide spot in the road, down in Sonora called "Doctor" near the mouth of the Colorado River drainage into the Sea of Cortez. Those dunes are loaded with coyotes.
Good hunting. LB

Onecoyote, Seems I read a story a couple years ago about you hunting the beaches. I don't remember all the details but it was interesting. Are you permanently in Nevada now? I had plans of getting to New Mexico and staying in your motel. I have friends in the northern part of Nevada. The hunting is lousy up there, LOL.

Dusty Hunter, we sold the motel in early Oct. We spent some time in Nevada, it just got to cold living in an RV.
We headed south to Beatty for a couple weeks and that got cold, so we kept heading south to Bullhead City Arizona, then to Lake Havasu. That sucked, so we went back to Bullhead and that's where we are now.
Come March we well be heading back to Big Smoky Valley Nevada. We found the place we want, just need to wheel and deal a little bit.
Getting back to hunting the beaches of Baja. I did pretty good a couple times down there.
My best hunts were not at the beach though, better places were inland for me.
I just brought the subject up to see if anyone else had ever done it, I wanted to hear the story. I was thinking maybe Leonard did it before but not sure?

Yeah, I have just called them before, bloodless. Sometimes the sound gets a little drowned out by surf. They also stay on the bluffs, depending on where you are. But, yes, a deserted beach, especially in Baja. Would I make it a point? No. Unless fishing and camping on the beach. As Danny says, sometimes a half a mile inland is way better calling.
I wonder how many people here know what I mean by highway 8A? Can't find it on a map.
Good hunting. LB

I can't count the number of coyotes I've killed off of upper and lower 8-A.
I hunted a contest this last Oct on lower 8-A. The guy I was with missed 4 easy coyotes with his rifle that day. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
I was the shotgun man and never got a shot, but I had fun. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I have killed several Coyotes and hogs on our beaches. It is just like fishing. You need to check the tide tables.
The low tide is a seafood buffet.
