Bobcat and Coyote Hunting with Craig Steele
Show Notes:
For over 25 years, Craig Steele has been guiding predator hunts in Arizona, and he takes some time today to talk about his strategies, and how weather and animal behavior affect his stalk.
I’ve always done well with predator hunting by just following inclement weather. Craig’s theory is that 24-48 hours after a big storm is the most optimal time to go hunting coyotes. They’ve been holed up for days, and they’re hungry. And hungry coyotes will go after almost anything.
While you can stalk elk following their feeding patterns, you’ll need to think of predator hunting a little differently. I like to mark on my OnX a known hunting spot, and then return later to that spot because once you know a coyote or bobcat like an area, they’ll return to it. I’ve found that if you have success in an area before, you can revisit that area in 3-6 months, or even a year later, and still get good results.
If you’re looking for a guided predator hunt, you can connect with Craig on Instagram or through his website Predator Exclusives.
