HuntMeister, I used to hunt with anyone and everyone that'd go along. Nowadays there is a massive shortage of knowledge and an exploding number of callers in this state. I've found my talents and experiences are sometimes abused when given away randomly.
99% of the guys I've hunted with are great guys... the rest took my advice and spewed it all over the internet and professed themselves as internet experts. For this reason, I don't give free lessons or guided hunts to strangers anymore.
I now try to take 2 clients a year for what I define as "Calling Instruction". These are serious callers that value my time... and they take home the tools needed to consistantly kill coyotes in the Midwest. I offer this instruction to 20 or 30 inquisitive callers each year... and take the first 2 that will work with my schedule.
I do still organize the Indiana Predator Challenge and fund the Midwest Predator Hunters website as my attempt to "Give Back" to a great and growing sport. I hope I don't sound too self-centered or selfish here... but even if I had the time and resources to do it: it's just not in my best interest to take everyone out and show them the ropes. I make a lot of informative posts, videos and graphics on the MPH forums throughout the season... as do other succesful callers... I'd suggest you check it out and feel free to fire me any specific questions you might have.
Anyway, the offer still stands. If your deer lease or small game honey-hole is full of coyotes... I'll work with you to remove them quickly and cleanly. If you want the numbers reduced without the patience for trapping or the interruption of hounds: shoot me an email. Jrbhunter@hotmail.com

Been away from the forums for a while, looks like if I'd waited another 48 hours it would've been a full year since I logged in here! LOL! Where does the time go? I'm still alive, still killing coyotes like a bad strain of parvo. I recieved an email earlier today from a landowner in Central Indiana that wanted some coyotes removed. He mentioned seeing my post on a hunting forum and I remembered this old thread. Figured I would bump it up one more time for anyone that has a spare coyote or two running around... fur season is fast approaching. I'd like to kill 100 more this winter so let me know if you have any resident critters you'd like to donate towards that effort. Here are a few more pictures, perhaps a little more unique than the ones above (not just because of the beard). These are true triples and quads... meaning these groups of coyotes came in and died together. There's no better way to control a coyote population on a particular property than by removing 50-75% of it in a matter of minutes. The 10 of these were killed in about a weeks time, last October, and the bowhunters on these properties were very pleased with the results. PS: Those are my hunting clothes... so no solicitations for camo-contracts please! ;D

WOW - that is what I call a great talent. I am trying to get a team together for the 2011 IPC, but I have to profess that I am more than a novice at hunting coyotes.
Do you charge for the "process" of removing coyotes? I have in-laws that raise sheep and they have issues on occasions.
Also - what is a good pelt worth these days?

Thank you Kallen. We'd be glad to have you at the IPC but you'll need to get it together soon! The hunt is filling up. Hunters of all ages, locations and experience levels are represented in the field of hunters at IPC. I always point back at the out-of-state team that once finished 2nd in the contest after EACH MEMBER of the team had killed their very first coyotes during the hunt weekend. Anything can happen.
I do not charge, nor do I pay, to hunt coyotes. I have access to some of the largest whitetail leases in the Midwest but I still hunt some of the smallest hobby-farms in my county. I lay out the groundwork for a "route" and designate an amount of time required to kill the coyotes along it. Sometimes that is a 3 day route from Greenwood to Lafayette, sometimes it is a 2 hour route from my house to work.
I spend a lot of time in the pre-season laying out properties and travel patterns that will make me succesful in the winter.
If your in-laws are having real livestock problems with coyotes, I can reccomend some local Animal Damage Control specialists or trappers in the area that may be able to help them better than I can. A dedicated trapper or ADC specialists would target the problem areas and stick with it until they were gone. If I'm traveling through the area with my rifle, I'll probably only hit a property 2 or 3 times each season and remove the higheset volume of coyotes I can. There is a big difference in broad population reduction and specific damage control. I'd be glad to help however I can.
Thanks-

Thanks for the response. I will talk with the in-laws and see what we can do locally. I'll try to finish the team entry this weekend.

Touch base with me after all of the deer seasons are over. I'm in Cass county, and could stand to have a few eradicated off my place.

36fan, I heard it said once... "Jealousy is a tribute mediocrity pays to genius."
I knocked on doors and chased down tractors last Saturday from 8am-4pm and picked up 28 new farms in South Central Indiana. Always looking for more!
Steiny: I plan to hit Cass, Miami & Fulton County in Mid-to-Late January. I'll probably hit those areas on a Friday evening, night & Saturday morning. Saturday & Sunday will put me in Clinton, Carrol & Tippecanoe. Barring high winds or crunchy snow, I'll take 4-6 coyotes a day up there.
Guys, fur season opens Friday (4 days) so please contact me if you're wanting to lose some coyotes this winter. I'll be hunting 8-16 hours a day through the weekends and making occasional trips to the desert Southwest. I am also licensed in Kentucky and I'll be scouting new ground in Meade & Breckenridge counties. I would REALLY like to kill a KY bobcat this winter- any help in that arena is also appreciated!
Email: Jrbhunter@hotmail.com
Thanks; Jason
