Re: gear?
If you want it really simple and straight forward just grab a call and a rifle and your off on your way. If you wanna get complicated you might as well bring the kitchen sink with you. Everyone has a different opinion on what they should bring with them on a coyote hunt

Re: gear?
I'd say just some calls and rifle until you decide you want to stick with the sport. It can be a very frustrating and humbling experience. No sense in spending a bunch of money until you decide you want to stick it out.
I have a buddy that decided to get into it after we were talking about how much we enjoyed it. He bought a new rifle, bipod, calls, etc. This was two or three years ago. I am not even certain that he has even sighted the gun in yet!

Re: gear?
The most important thing I bring with, besides gun, ammo, caller and camo,,,a good hunting buddy.
If you don't get anything, at least you can go have a beer and blame your buddy.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. They'll have to pry mine from my cold dead hands.

Re: gear?
Rifle and bipod, shotgun most of the time, extra ammo, calls (hand and electronic sometimes), binos, coyote drag, camera, small knife, rangefinder not all are necessary just what i have gotten used to.
Neccesaties= Rifle and a hand call and get after it.

Re: gear?
tried to download & i had trouble trying for the last 15-20 min. so here it is i thought that i might get in on the action of gear/rigs & such. my setup is a savage 111gl 270 win hardwood w/ leupold 3x9-40 LR (i take it that everyone knows what that is LR) scope. i use a number of different calls. some on mp3, electronic caller, mouth calls, actually one of my mouth call is for pheasants, but i removed the wood & blow into the open reed & it sounds like a baby waa waaing. i will try to get it in somewhere but if you really a need to see it email me. it might just be the run of the mill for most of you all being a gun from wally world, & such but for me it would be my first "Real Rifle" setup. i decided on what i wanted, what i was going to use it for & saved & got things when i could. we will see if i like it or not. does not matter because i will use it & like it or use it & not like it. i don't have money just to throw around. i will adapt to it. but for now i like. oh by the way my wheels is a 1982 F150 that has a squeally problem. i park about 1/2 mile away. again not that bad & if it gets a scratch on it i won't cry.
right where God wants me
