At about what night time temperatures do you notice coyotes start moving or running more?

Mid 60's during the day now. 35-40 by morning. They sure are singing now.

They seem to like it sub 30 here. 15 is better. Makes trapping interesting, but snares really work in any deep cold we get.

…. Anything 50 or less at night here seems to get them putting down some tracks

… particularly if it’s a front that drops the temps

Always had more luck with colder temps unless the wife said "I want you to be home Early" that also made critters move

Yo, K snow, you use the same weather app I do. I love Weather Underground.

I gave up trying to predict which nights I would be late in the fur shed and which I would be done early. I just focus on keeping everything working.

Savell is on the right track. I don't feel it has to be a specific temperature to get them moving more on a certain night. Anytime the barometer starts to drop, making a cool front move through you'll notice more movement 2 nights before the cool front hits. That's been my observations.

A big change in the weather will get them moving. My best day on coyotes has been 9 coyotes and a cat. It had been in the 60's for days then the temp dropped and got a howling wind out of the north. I thought that might get them moving and it sure did,

Interesting question. They hit bait alot better after its cold and some snow though. I think they'd rather mouse around than eat dead stuff and they come for the dead stuff from a ways off when they are hungry. I assume its harder to mouse in the cold and they need more calories.

I like 40 degree or colder days, and 20 degree or less nights for canines, coons warmer days followed by cold night

In this area it needs to be colder to get them moving. Later in the winter we need some snow and maybe temps around 10 degrees.
