Coyote Hunting - How to up your numbers - Predator Academy Tips & Tricks

I know that it is completely off-topic, but I am curious what the tires are that you have on the UTV in this video? I really like the look of the tread design. It reminds me of the old school Super Swampers.

So how do you get the scanner up to your eye without lighting up your face…look towards the ground at first? Hear you on the car & truck noice, but loading these damn ARs makes a ton of racket.

[@predatoracademytv]

I keep my head level, and just tip the scanner down before I pull it off my eye very far. Imagine the eyepiece as a flashlight, and just keep it pointed up towards the sky instead of on you. Does that make sense, because I have done a terrible job at trying to explain it lol.

[@AndrewJackson-v2r]

Are you using a hood or head covering to conceal the glow from the scope? That’s something I’ve always wondered about.

[@predatoracademytv]

That is a huge concern that many people overlook. On my rifle I am just careful not to glow my face, where I see more of an issue is using a scanner, and constantly putting it up to your face, and taking it away. I keep the eyepiece vertical, then tip it at the last second to my eye, almost like drinking a glass of water, then when im done, do the same, tipping it up before pulling it away from my eye. I have lost many coyotes to getting busted from the scope glow. Great point!

love your stuff man. you in ohio?

[@predatoracademytv]

Thanks for the comment, are are in Ohio, near Dayton. We have staff spread all over, and travel every month to hunt different states.

I’m in NE Ohio and can’t find coyotes anywhere. We have very few red foxes and absolutely no greys. If I were to take a weekend predator hunting road trip, to a different part of Ohio, or even the surrounding states, where would you recommend ?

[@predatoracademytv]

I would look more at the pressure in the area than where the area is. So I live near the Ohio Indiana line, many of my spots in Ohio have some pressure, as soon as you cross into Indiana it get much more open, larger tracts of land, less houses and traffic, and overall just more rural. I have better luck on a regular basis in that type of environment. Before you drive across the state, or to another state, look at your area and see if you have access to anywhere away from pressure. Do you think you are not seeing them because they are not there, or just pressured and educated?

@@predatoracademytv I’m pretty sure there aren’t many here, I’ve killed 2 my entire life here, and called maybe 1 or 2 that I haven’t shot. I saw a boom in red fox numbers about 8 to 10 years ago, but that dwindled as well. I have heard of some guys were using thermals, but I’ve tried to stay out of those areas due to the pressure. I don’t see a lot that are killed on the roads, but do tend to see more roadkills in the west towards Wooster.
