Best time for coyote ?

I live where it's real hot, and they seem resistant to coming out of the shade to a call when it's hot. In my experience, this time of year, they are out just a little while after sunrise, and don't seem to get out and about 'til well after dark. When it's cooler, they might be out anytime.

I've read the same...goes to show, there's no hard rules for yote habits.
It may depend on how hungry they are. They are not hungry here this time of year, at least not where I've been hunting the most.
They eat rabbits all day everyday. If they're in the area they will come in, if they are not call smart.

dont miss!!! please dont miss. im a good shot i shoot jacks onthe move at 150 yards but have yet to put a yote in my cross hairs. or even in my binos but i do see them on the road at mid day 100+deg. if you can call and see yotes but keep missing please cal lme you call them ill shoot them. then we wont be training them.
Don't miss, and SNEAK/HUNT your way in. If they see you first, you trained them. I think people YouTube too much and don't read enough. The tube never shows how to sneak in, set up, and not get busted, just guys whacking clueless untrained dogs. Almost every article I've read stressed stealth. You must be sneakier and wilier than Wiley himself.
All good advice. I was out scouting a new area Sunday for deer and possibly yote. Dry, but not too hot in the shade particularly on north-facing slopes with good cover on the hills and with a small neighboring ranch nearby (with water). I was scouting the private pastures to the south, sloping up from the dirt perimeter road. The breeze was out of the south. I saw what appeared to be a black log move just below the brush at about 200 yards. I had figured there would be yotes close to that neighboring ranch, but this one saw me first. By the time I ID'd him, he was walking toward the brush. By the in the seconds it took to drop my binocs and swing up my rifle, he was in cover. He didn't run though, and I assumed he was watching. Calling would be a really bad thing to do, so I just took note and I'll sneak back here another time to have a look. His set up was interesting: his back to the wind, about 200 yards from the dirt road with a broad view of the land to his north, including the neighboring ranch. He was a big one, and nearly black which is why I didn't recognize him soon enough. I'll

I forgot to mention...if you have to pick the BEST time, it's probably morning...but it's always chances.

like most hunters said on here the best time is when your out there.. the morning always sounds good to me but that's because I'm a morning hunter, life happens and I cant hunt all day or nights. Yotes are opportunistic hunters and they will come out whatever time the dinner bell rings. I don't think any yote hunter intends to train yotes but as the rookie hunter learns from his mistakes the training will end and the killing begin...

We were out scouting one late morning and passed by a field where my son shot a nice bobcat a whole before and spotted a coyote intently watching a burrow waiting for the squirrel to come up. We watched him for a while and had time to grab our rifles when he noticed us and started walking quickly to cover, which was a good 75 yards away. Well we wanted him but couldn't shoot because we quickly noticed that there were range cattle grazing behind him. He made it to the cover and we slow and look for him every time we pass by that field.
Do you think that he knew he was safe because of the cattle?
