coyote hunting

Pursuing wild canines

Coyote hunting is the pursuit of coyotes, typically for pest control, sport, or predator management.

Ranchers and farmers hunt coyotes to protect livestock; sport hunters pursue them for pelts or trophies.

The activity often involves calling—using electronic or mouth-blown devices that mimic prey distress sounds or coyote vocalizations to lure animals within range: We went coyote hunting before dawn.
